Details

Campers will learn about the slimy, crawling and flying invertebrates of Lake County and what makes them special. Invertebrates (animals without backbones) make up the larges group of animals on Earth. Each day's explorations highlight different ecosystems and the invertebrates that inhabit them.

This program is for children ages 8-9 by the first day of the program. 

Registration will open on March 3, 2025.

We design our lessons, activities, and topics to specific age groups to maximize their Summer Adventure experience. Due to this thoughtful strategy, we are unable to make age exceptions.
