About This Activity
This week we're keeping things cool – cool as a sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers belong to a group of slimy, bumpy sea creatures called holothurians. With just one look its clear why these animals are named after the green fruit of the cucumber plant. They have defense mechanisms that you wouldn't believe, including the ability to expel all their internal organs in order to scare away a predator. What makes this even cooler is that they can regrow their organs afterwards! We are going to snorkel the sandbar and teach campers how to find Holothuria floridana. We’ll play watery relay races, make our own silly string, and sew tiny pet cucumbers to take home. Don’t just take our word for it, take it from a sea cucumber and trust your gut instincts, this week is going to be a HOL lot of fun!
