As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Land to Learn has turned to remote learning to continue educating Hudson Valley students about food justice, garden-based learning, community wellness, and nutrition. Despite the uncertainty of the future during these unprecedented times, we are excited to offer "SproutEd Virtual Summer Learning," a week-long virtual summer learning program for our student community! With this garden-based “edutainment,” we are hoping to encourage students and their families to engage in outdoor activities and exploration, as well as provide a unique social experience for our students in a time of social and physical distancing.
During each week-long session, a small team of our SproutEd Garden Educators will facilitate live sessions and share videos with our students. Parents and caregivers should be available to assist our young learners with technological support and help with various activities and projects. Our virtual summer learning will be available for students that were in Kindergarten, 1st grade, or 2nd grade during the 2019-2020 school year.
We are offering three different sessions, each with a fun and unique theme:
Session 1 (July 20th-July 24th): Pollination Party!
Session 2 (July 27th - July 31st): Eat a Rainbow!
Session 3 (August 3rd-August 7th): Insect Investigators
There are only 25 seats per session and the deadline to register is July 6th, so please sign up for the session of your choice as soon as you can!
We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to our communities! Because we want our virtual summer learning program to be accessible to all of our students, this program is offered as “Pay What You Wish.” Those with limited resources are free to explore and learn with us at no cost, while those who are able may like to make a financial contribution to our organization so that we can continue to serve our communities with garden-based education. We are a nonprofit that relies on the generosity of donors, many of whom are our neighbors giving $5 a year.
We look forward to learning and growing with your garden scientist and you this summer!
