Camps

Show Me Science & Arts Summer Experience (SASE)
5 day sessions for youth agencies & schools

Offered by The Green Center, Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri Dept of Natural Resources

The Show Me SASE camp connects children to nature near where they live. During this five-day camp, children explore the outdoor classrooms at The Green Center, Missouri Conservation Areas and Missouri State Parks. Professional artists will share their craft with the students and weave artistic creativity into their study of the natural world. Please contact The Green Center if your youth agency would like to participate in one of these camps planned for June and July in 2009.

Sample Student Poem

The Prairie Speaks

I am like a big, big city
full of life at rush hour –
underground, moles digging,
constructing tunnels,
above, rabbits digging ditches,
ladybugs rushing home,
plants bumping,
spraying seeds,
and sparkling flowers
and blazing stars
dancing like everyday
it’s Mardi Gras.

The program is funded by RAC and our partners, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Memco Barge Line.
