As the snow recedes and the temperatures climb, parents are thinking about summer camp.
Among many other disturbances wrought by the pandemic, many children lost the opportunity to attend camp last summer. What this summer will look like on the pandemic front is still unclear, but at Penn many are busy planning enriching activities for young people to play and learn, both online and in person.
There are dozens of classes to check out, online and in-person throughout the month.
Throughout the Lancaster County region, there are hands-on classes that teach things like how to make a resurrection garden and a succulent planter. Thereâs also a seed swap in Elizabethtown. There also are virtual classes on topics like flower arranging plus virtual talks about growing native plants and more.
The in-person events are limited to small groups and some virtual classes ship materials so donât wait to sign up. Some of the virtual events are selling out quickly as well.
