Easton Library to Offer Science Camps

This July the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library will offer science camps for several different age groups. On July 2, 3, and 5, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m., children entering grades 1 and 2 can attend the Wonders of Science Camp. Among their adventures, these campers will explore pond life using a computer microscope, learn about the life cycles of frogs, and create their own “Investigation Kit.” On July 2, 3, 5, and 6, from 11:00 – noon, children entering grades 3 and 4 can attend the Wonders of the Chesapeake Bay Science Camp. Among their adventures, these campers will learn about the minute organisms living in the Bay, learn something of its geological history, and, in turn, the processes that shape our planet. On July 10 and 12, from 10:00 – noon, children entering grades 5 – 8 can attend their own Science Camp. Among their adventures, these campers will learn about the differences between solids and liquids, what makes a polymer, and what makes an electrical circuit. All library programs are free and open to the public, but children do need to be pre-registered to attend these camps. Space is limited in the Easton camps, but a similar cycle of science camps (also requiring pre-registration) will be offered in the second and fourth weeks of July in the library’s St. Michaels branch. Currently, more slots are open in the St. Michaels camps. For more information, call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org. To sign up for one of the St. Michaels camps, call 410-745-5877.
