Description

Did you know that we have bugs to thank for our country’s independence?  The ink used to sign the Declaration of Independence was made from bugs!  This week, campers will learn about red, white, and blue bugs, ecology, and the relationship of organisms to one another.  We will talk about pollinators in space.  Campers will discover what they would need to survive in their own “Spaceship Earth”.   As always, we will learn the importance of our pollinators AND butterflies in their ecosystem. 
An oak tree is more than a shady picnic spot, or a great place for a tire swing.  The mighty oak is its own ecosystem.  Did you know that one oak can be home to 500 butterflies and moths!?! This week focuses on the importance of trees, and the birds and pollinators that call them home.  Campers will make a birdfeeder as one of the fun crafts and activities planned for the week.
