Wow!!!! what an adventure we had this summer. Our day camps were a big hit. Participants had a grand time taking pictures, meeting new friends and learning about wonderful and interesting birds, reptiles and creepy crawley things. Of course we had to throw in cute and cuddly along the way. They did nature journaling and went on explorations.  The best part, is that the knowledge they will take with them, will add to their learning experience in the coming school year. Not only were they having fun, but the activities were reinforcing their science curriculum.
