The Universalist Unitarian Church of East Liberty presents a spring break science camp on the afternoons of Wednesday April 1 and Thursday April 2, 2015 in conjunction with the Brooklyn Branch, Jackson District Library. "Take a Peep at Science" will be held at the church, 2231 Jefferson Road near Clarklake, MI from 1:00pm to 5:00pm those days. It's important to pre-register for this event so that organizers can plan for materials. Attendance is limited to 30 children plus nursery schoolers.

Jackson District Library has a grant to present STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) for grades 3-8 in a variety of settings. The UU Church of East Liberty has extended this opportunity for younger children (preschool through 2^nd graders) as well. The program for third through 7^th graders will be as follows:

Wednesday April 1

Robotics

Germs

Movie: Big Hero 6

Thursday, April 2

Fossils

Magnets

Movie: Mr. Peabody & Sherman

Younger children will enjoy similar programs, and will join the older kids for the movies. Snacks will be provided; please provide a snack for your children if they have allergies. Parents are welcome to stay with their children, or register and drop them off for the activities. Nursery care is available for infants through age three with participating parents. A nominal fee of $5 per student for third through eighth graders and $2 per student for preschoolers through 2^nd graders will pay for materials, though scholarships are available for low income families.  

Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum, pastor of the Universalist Unitarian Church of East Liberty, realized that working with the Jackson District Library-Brooklyn branch for this program would be ideal. This is a program provided by the library and is not faith-based. "Unitarians have always believed in the scientific method when trying to answer questions about the universe and our place in it. One of our principles is 'a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.'" said Rev. Landrum. "We're excited to be providing a space for fun activities focused on science and technology during spring break."
