Calling all bug and insect lovers!!

Campers will become entomologists (scientists who study insects) as they learn about insects and all of the amazing things they can do. They’ll go on an insect scavenger hunt and practice their insect identification skills, as well as exploring cool adaptions that some insects have.

Your entomologist will also spend a fair amount of the week doing their part to help their little insect pals! They’ll use their engineering skills as they make a hornets’ nest, be the architect and designer as they construct a bee home, and tap into their agricultural skills as they build a bee garden.

All together, campers will participate in 20 different projects, experiments, and activities throughout the week. One thing we can be sure of is that campers won’t find a more complete study and fun adventure of insects than in this camp!

Activities will demonstrate concepts related to light, sound, perception, illusion, and model building. One of the great features of this camp is that all campers will create (and take home!) a movie using techniques in Claymation and Stop-Motion Animation. Lessons include plot development, story boarding, set building, filming, and sound effects.

Campers will also learn various special effects make-up techniques working with the same materials used by professional make-up artists. They will simulate cuts, bruises, artificial blood, and old age. Is there a future movie director living in your house? This is a camp your child won’t want to miss!

Please have your moviemaker bring a 4G Flash Drive to camp to save their movie.
