All scientists start somewhere -- some start with us! Campers will embark on a week full of butterfly nets, bug jars, and binoculars. We will step into the shoes of biologists and botanists alike as we explore the natural world,
searching for answers to questions such as: why do beavers build dams? Are birds reptiles? And why do flowers smell so good? All curious minds are invited to join us for a week of fun and fascination.
