Life Lab offers Spring Break Day Camp

You've heard of head lettuce, well, these are examples of lettuce heads sprouting at Life Lab Spring Break Camp.

Spring break is coming right up and parents of children ages 7 to 11 are invited to register their youngsters for a week of garden-based fun at the UC Santa Cruz Farm.

The Life Lab Science Program's annual Spring Break Day Camp will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the week of April 5-9. Activities include spring gardening, cooking, and crafts.

Campers will prepare food fresh from the farm. Gardening activities will include seed sowing for home gardens, and harvesting. They will learn about composting, nutrition, garden predators, and more.

Cost is $250 per child with a 10 percent sibling discount for a second child. Financial assistance is available.
