Open to students in Grades 1 & 2
Program meets during Spring Break, April 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, 2015

With the help of Bronx Children’s Museum, campers will spend time exploring the Bronx River and building upon their newly found knowledge by creating artwork expressing their thoughts and feelings through the process of collage and poems. Through exhibit visits, animal guest presentations and hands on science experiences, campers will hone their detective (and scientist) skills to solve any mystery that comes their way.
