Headwaters at the Comal, 78130
Description
Join us for a brand-new summer camp for rising 6th-8th graders. During this week long half day camp, students will become scientists helping to document and learn more about the plants and animals living in the Springs and Savannas of Headwaters and the ecosystems that support these species. During camp, students will participate in activities including BioBlitzes, water testing, soil testing, butterfly monitoring, bird watching, hikes, and nature journaling. They'll also learn more about the tools and methods scientists use to collect data through these activities. By the end of the week, students will be ready to put their new found knowledge to work and help gather data and information at home and around the community.
Day 1: What is Citizen Science?
Day 2: Water Watchers
Day 3: Who Cares About Dirt?
Day 4: Plant Patrol
Day 5: Creature Feature
This program will run daily from 9am-12pm at Headwaters at the Comal in our Outdoor Pavilion.
