Morning Sessions:
Creating Creatures – If you love animals and all things mythical and magical, this session is for you!

Building habitats and adding details, we’ll focus on where your mythical creature lives, what they eat, where they sleep, and more. Bring your imagination and love of magical creatures!

Fieldwork in Ecology – Using our 38 acre campus, this program will introduce students to field work in both terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water) habitats. Students will learn how to map an area, determine slope of the land and work with Google Maps to gather data about the school’s property. Students will also examine different properties of soil, on the larger physical scale as well as with microscopes. The stud- ies will then be expanded to the pond; analyzing the water and sampling for microscopic life, again using microscopes. The students will be responsible for keeping a Nature Journal of their studies.
