What: Aqua Critters August 6-10, 2012 Spend the week getting your feet wet! We'll explore a new, close by aquatic habitat every day. We'll wade, look for aquatic invertebrates, see if we can spot any osprey, and learn about how important water is to all living things.
Creepy Crawlies July 30-August 3, 2012 Who doesn't love learning about insects? We'll spend the week seeing what we can catch and learning about metamorphosis and other amazing insect facts. We'll even start our own (live) insect collection that we will release at the end of the week. A trip to the electron microscope at the university will let us see all sorts of neat critters up close and personal!
Backcountry Explorers July 30-August 3, 2012 Want to spend a week in the woods this summer that includes a fantastic overnight backpacking trip? We'll hike some beautiful trails every day and explore the world around us using tools of a naturalist like field guides and compasses. We'll also learn about plants and animals common to our region as we get out and explore, and practice Leave No Trace Principles. This camp will feature an overnight backpacking trip from August 2-3.
