About the activity:

Calling all water adventurers and eco-explorers—get ready to make a splash! This exciting week is all about diving into the wonders of aquatic life, where curiosity leads the way. Campers will wade into the creek to catch and observe fascinating critters, uncover the hidden secrets of ecosystems, and explore big questions like: How does water shape the land? What makes frogs such expert swimmers? And how can we tell if a stream is healthy? As budding hydrologists and ecologists, they’ll experiment with water flows, hunt for macro-invertebrates, and learn how to protect the habitats they explore. With plenty of water games and outdoor fun, campers will stay cool while soaking up adventure. Pack your curiosity, grab a towel, and get ready for a wild water-filled journey!
