Campers will kick things off by discovering life in the desert, learning how camels stay cool, and creating colorful mosaics of fennec foxes. They'll explore the mysterious world of nighttime animals through fun sorting games and a lively echolocation challenge. Things get exciting with a deep dive into venomous creatures, from graphing the most dangerous animals to testing out a spider venom experiment and making an octopus craft! Campers will then take flight on incredible animal migrations, building maps and racing through a high-energy movement game. The adventure wraps up with a look at creatures that carry their homes on their backs, including a shell-themed STEM challenge, fuzzy snail crafts, and a tasty treat that looks just like a clam shell!
