Intro to Entomology (ages 6+)

Spend the morning learning about entomology – the study of insects – including the parts of an insect, different types of insects, all the cool places insects live, and why insects aren’t all scary! Campers will then practice their skills catching insects outside and identifying what they have.

Exploring the Tidal Zone (ages 6+)

The summer makes us think of the beach and ocean waves. But have you looked at all the different things that live on or near the beach? Campers will explore the meaning of tidal zone by learning about the various animals and plants you can find where the land meets the sea. This camp will take place on the beach, and campers will learn about the seashells, crabs, fish, seaweed, and marsh plants that live in the tidal zone by handling some of the beach invertebrates and plants. Wear a bathing suit!
