City Garden school is dedicated to getting its students outside to experience the world in many ways.

City Gardenโ€™s Middle School Summer Camp finished up today with some cave exploration. Throughout the week they learned about geology, cave ecology, fires, forests, and watersheds in Rock Bridge state park and the Three Creeks Conservation area. Activities included crawdad racing, dying clothes with natural indigo, outdoors games, and discovering a vulture nest in one of the many caves they visited.
