About This Activity
Delve into the world of aquatic creatures to unravel the mysteries of their environments and way of life. • Grab a paddle. Campers will explore Lake Bastrop by foot and watercraft (kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, canoes or rafts) to see its cattail marsh and surrounding piney woods. • Snakes, turtles and gators, oh my! Campers will meet our animal ambassadors and learn what helps these animals adapt to their environment. • Let’s experiment. Campers will discover the importance of water quality testing using Secchi discs, turbidity tubes, and pH and Nitrate comparators. • Small but mighty. Campers will use microscopes to examine microorganisms that are essential to the food chain, as well as view the importance of external gill systems of invertebrates at multiple life stages.
