Rachel Carson Summer Bug Camp
August 9-13 – 
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
Please call for information about upcoming Science on Saturdays programs.

Program for children ages 5-12
Bug camp is back by popular demand and brings with it many friends. Not only will campers learn about insects through a variety of hands-on experiments and activities, but they will have the opportunity to discover the role other organisms play in their ecosystem.

Use your senses to explore the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem. Investigate animal homes and discover cool facts about exciting creatures by playing  games, reading stories, taking hikes and making crafts. The children may be small but there are many big, wonderful activities in store!
