Spring break is a great time to learn about Beach bugs! Where the sands are hot, harsh, and constantly on the move. Yet here, where the shifting sands meet the gulf or ocean coasts of Florida, there’s an abundance of insects that make their homes there. These bugs have evolved to succeed in the sand. But survival in this merciless landscape is hard won! We will learn about bug adaptations to coastal sand environments, roles they play in these sandy environments, what they eat and so much more about their microworld! The Florida Aquarium will also be presenting their "No Bones About It" program which includes them bringing some common Florida invertebrates for the campers to see and touch up close. There will be theme related arts and crafts, guest appearances from our bug and animal ambassadors and each child will have the opportunity to release a butterfly into our garden. We will also visit our very own Bug bungalow, Nature Center and Butterfly garden where we have our very own sand dune to explore!
