When Tiffany Boyd asked me to visit her summer camp in Fountain Square at the
Southeast Community Services, it was about bringing in a slideshow presentation about climate change. What I've learned this summer, however, is that summer camp may not necessarily be the best context for science learning — especially in a rambunctious, adventure-oriented summer camp setting.
So upon further investigation, I learned from Tiffany that her campers — numbering nearly two dozen kids, aged 9-16 — have mastered riding the
IndyGo bus system.
I began then to think of interesting destinations for these campers.
For those of you who read this Climate Chronicles blog, you know I write a lot about food, and about the connection between food and climate change. And how climate change will threaten our food security. No surprise, then, that I thought of my friend Tyler Gough and his
Indy Urban Acres.
Sitting on 8 acres, Indy Urban Acres donates 100% of its fresh veggies and fruit to local food pantries thru its partnership with
Gleaners Food Bank.
Tiffany agreed that Indy Urban Acres would be a great destination, given that her campers have been working the community garden located next to the Southeast Community Services Youth Center in Fountain Square. So here are some photos of our great adventure to Indy Urban Acres!
