Through games, challenges, and activities campers will learn about the natural world and discover new ways to explore outdoors.

Powerful Pollinators

Tuesday, August 3 to Friday, August 6, 2021 

There are so many plants that can't survive without their pollinators, and pollinators who can't survive without their plants. And we can't survive without them, either! Get a deeper understanding of these essential relationships as we go beyond bees and butterflies to celebrate the unsung heroes of pollination, build insect habitat, and match plants with their "bug" buddies.

Please note this is a four-day camp with no programming on Monday, August 2, the Civic Holiday.

  • Times: Tuesday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
