Free Spring Break Camp: Outdoor Education & Dance for Grades 3-5

Get outdoors and learn about nature with dancers from Dance Exchange and environmental education experts from Brookside Nature Center! This will be a week filled with learning and moving, and making new connections to the outdoors through dance. Free. Plus, families are invited to join us for Family Day on Friday, April 14 from 10AM-1PM.

The Moving Field Guide is an interactive experience led by Dance Exchange artists, naturalists, and regional experts in ecology. Moving Field Guide projects look at how the arts can offer creative tools for knowing a place, not just using a place. The project provides people across generations an opportunity to get outdoors and gain a lasting understanding of the natural world. Participants move through experiences that build upon discovery, appreciation, recognition, and stewardship of the environment.

During this immersive experience participants activate their senses and observation skills through a series of outdoor movement activities. Combining an artistic and ecological approach to learning, Moving Field Guides help participants to consider the beauty, complexity, and human impact on the environment around them.
