Exploring the K’ómoks Estuary
Particitating in stewardship tasks ~ Alison Baumann
Each day, campers will explore the estuary and surrounding habitats while taking part in exciting outdoor activities like:
- 🐟 Mini beach seining & macroinvertebrate exploration
- 🐦 Bird watching & species identification (including native names)
- 🌱 Planting, mulching, watering & invasive species removal
- 🧪 Fun demos like the watershed model & saltwater wedge
- 🎨 Nature art booklets & creative reflection
- 🏖️ Beach scavenger hunts & games (salmon vs. seals and more!)
This camp is all about learning by doing. Kids will gain real-world stewardship experience while discovering how estuaries and watersheds work, why they matter, and how we can care for them. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
We also weave in opportunities to learn about Traditional Environmental Knowledge, helping foster respect for Indigenous perspectives and relationships with the land and water.
