Creepy, crawly, and seriously cool! In Artsy Arthropods, campers will explore the amazing world of insects, spiders, and other arthropods through hands-on nature study and creative projects. Campers will build their own bug observation box to safely observe the marsh's arthropods up close and discover how these tiny creatures play big roles in our ecosystems.

Critter Camps are for campers entering grades 1 or 2.
