BUG CAMP BEGINS MONDAY!

Cristina and I are very excited to explore the wonderful world of bugs with our camp attendees!

We have:

lady-bug and butterfly larvae to observe while they go through their metamorphosis
an entomologist is coming to speak to the children on Tuesday
supplies we need to go bug hunting and observing
over 100 bug books are ready to be thumbed through, read, and looked at
lots of other great activities

If your child is attending the camp and is currently collecting bugs, please have your child bring them to add to our collection! We would love it!

Testimonials

"Thank you!...My daughter really LOVED owl camp! She still talks about it and has a new found love for owls."
-Nicole S.

"My 2 girls did bug camp this year and had SO much fun! They have continued to talk all about bugs even weeks after camp ended. They have told me a number of interesting facts about bugs and insects and are still talking about camp. Bug Camp was so much fun that we turned right around and signed up for Rock Camp. It was another great week that we are still talking about! Thanks Cristina!"
-Kristin B.

"Miss Cristina taught four of my children from 1st-3rd grade. The summer camps were so fun and educational. They got so in-depth, they became experts in whatever they were studying. She teaches them how to learn and ask questions. My kids loved each one she did during the summer."
