This fun and educational camp has been created just for campers going into grades 1-3 by the staff of the Watershed Ecology Center staff.  We will spend the whole week discovering why plants and animals need certain things to stay alive.  Discover why in some places it is easy for living things to get what they need and other places it is very hard.  Join us as we take a safari hunt through the grasslands, as we slip and slide through the tundra, swim through the ocean, hike through the forest, and look for oases in the desert.  What amazing plants and animals we will see as we discover why each biome is so special and unique!
