In this camp, you will be immersed in the world of ectotherms. Ectotherms are animals that use the world around them to stay cool or warm, by basking in the sun or spending time in the shade or water. From snakes to frogs and worms, you will get to learn about these animals through encounters at the marsh.

Critter Camps are for campers entering grades 1 or 2.
