We’re Even More Green!
Camp Scherman’s pristine setting and resources inspire girls to value the beauty of our world and understand the need to protect our planet. Many of the activities at camp have always been nature-oriented, and we have enhanced our programming with a focus on the environment and sustainability. Campers are encouraged to participate in new and innovative nature activities that will engage their imaginations and encourage them to advocate for programs to conserve our air, energy and water resources.
Our New Gardens
Being green also means providing nutritious meals and snacks to help girls learn that making healthy choices improves their wellbeing. Camp Scherman’s large vegetable and herb gardens will provide fresh seasonal produce for healthy meals and yummy snacks prepared in our kitchens. Girls will visit the camp gardens and get a chance to harvest their own freshly-picked snacks and learn where their food comes from. Our pumpkin patch will be ready for harvesting in the fall and the blueberry patches will begin bearing fruit in 2011.
Be Inspired!
Green is fun for the whole family! We hope all girls and their families will get involved to make our world greener and cleaner! Visit a few sites that have inspired us:
