Local Organizations Partner with Falmouth School to Offer Unique Summer Program

FALMOUTH – Six local organization are partnering this summer to provide a unique program for Cape Cod students.

Inspired by Nature is a summer camp collaboration between the Cape Conservatory, Falmouth Art Center, Falmouth Historical Society, Falmouth Schools, Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Bourne Farm.

Students between 9 and 12 years of age and teachers will spend a day at each location.

“Inspired by Nature offers a unique opportunity for the Conservatory to collaborate with five dynamic organizations in Falmouth,” said Stephanie Weaver, Executive Director of the Cape Conservatory. “Although our offerings are quite different, we are united by the common themes we find in nature and the world around us.  Whether it’s through music, marine science, botany, or visual arts, we want to excite the next generation of learners about the fascinating world around us.”

Guided by teachers and local experts, students in the Inspired by Nature program will spend one day with each of the host organizations, exploring the important concept of “progression” and how it influences science, technology, art, music, history—every part of our daily existence. Progression focuses on the continuous growth and development of the natural world around us; how things past both form and inform those of the present and future. Through special projects and adventures, students will discover how the concept of progression applies to the environmental, artistic, and cultural spheres.

The program runs from June 25-29. To register contact the Cape Conservatory at 508-540-0611 or visit capeconservatory.org.
