Have fun and enjoy the outdoors with STEAM Outside Camp @ Tree Pittsburgh!
STEAM Outside Camp will engage your 4th, 5th, or 6th grade student in the urban forest, fields, and rivers through a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) lense. Camp takes full advantage of Tree Pittsburgh’s 5‑acre riverfront campus and will follow COVID safety protocols to keep everyone safe, happy, and of course, having fun!
What is STEAM Outside Camp all about?
Each day of STEAM Outside Camp will have a different theme, allowing campers to learn about insects, tree identification, reforestation, tree biology, and more. This week-long day camp will take participants into the Tree Pittsburgh Heritage Nursery to uncover the fascinating life of trees from seed up through their first years of growth. Through journaling, art, hands-on lessons, and exciting projects, campers will explore the urban forest while flexing their STEAM muscles in an outdoor setting. Participants will also have the chance to meet Tree Pittsburgh’s staff arborists and discover how they can make a difference in the urban forest through first-hand experiences and field techniques.
