About This Activity
Embark on a journey down the Colorado River to explore its different ecosystems by watercraft. • Act like an archeologist. Campers will visit a local island to learn about the creatures that call it home and uncover oyster shells, petrified wood and gastropods. • Are we there yet? Campers will take a field trip to Lake Bastrop for a crash course in paddling, fishing and dip-netting for macroinvertebrates. • Turtle tracking. Campers will use a radio telemetry receiver to track the signal emitted from a transmitter attached to a live turtle in the field. • Small but mighty. Campers will learn about riparian ecosystems and the roles their tiny organisms play.
