Interesting Insects
It’s estimated that there are over 10 quintillion living bugs on planet earth at a single time! That’s more than 200 million insects for each human! While a lot of people think that bugs are actually creepy crawlies, they play a very special role on our planet. In Interesting Insects, campers will learn why it may be better to release a spider back outside than giving it the underside of a boot.

You have probably heard that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are frightened or that you can charm a snake with music, right? But those are actually animal myths! In Myth Busters, campers will take a closer look at what are true facts or just make believe.

It’s in the Stars
Have you ever thought about what animals come out at night? Or if animals use the stars to find their way home? Maybe you’re wondering why over 30 star constellations have animals names! While learning about nocturnal animals and their constellation counterparts, campers will discover there’s a lot more than animals falling asleep when the sun sets.
