Discover the amazing creatures that live around your home! Participants will create a science investigation notebook and learn how to observe and record animals in their own backyard. From birds and bugs to reptiles, plants and more, we will learn how to care for the wildlife surrounding us and may even create some items to help attract animals to our backyard (safely of course!).

This camp is a drop off opportunity for kids 7+ years old. Kids may bring a snack and water bottle with them.
