About This Activity
If you’ve visited our campus recently, you may have noticed our newest ambassador animal - an Eastern Indigo Snake! Lovingly named Olive by last year’s campers, she has been drawing plenty of attention, so we have decided she deserves a week all of her own. The Eastern Indigo is the longest native snake species in the United States. More than 20 years ago, these remarkable creatures were once common on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Today, however, their populations are declining due to increasing environmental threats, and they are no longer found on Sanibel. During this special week of camp, we’ll learn all about SCCF’s efforts to monitor nearby indigo populations, slither through fun obstacle courses, and get an up-close look at one’s beauty—with Olive as the star of the show. Of course, with all this slithering on land, we’ll have plenty of time to cool off as we surf the waves in the Gulf. We hope to ssssee you there!
