Buggin' Out: High Plains Science Adventures Camp 2013

As the snow falls outside, and the mercury hovers around 20, summer seems a long ways off. However, it's never too early to think about summer camp, especially if exploring nature, learning what life is like as a field biologist, and spending time outdoors interest you. This June, Children and Nature in Our Parks (CNP) is delighted to once again bring you High Plains Science Adventures Camp. This year our theme is Buggin' Out: Insects at Home on the Prairie!

Come spend a week with us exploring different natural areas in the southern panhandle as we conduct our own research projects, collect and learn about the insects that call Nebraska home, and even spend the night out at the Wildcat Hills. You'll get an inside peak into what goes on at the Panhandle Extension Center, meet entomologists (folks who study bugs), and take part in a pollinator planting at Nine Mile Wildlife Management Area.

Below is a link that will take you to our registration page that contains all the necessary paperwork for this summer's camp. If you have any questions, run into problems with the registration packet, or would simply like more information about camp, please email HPSAcamp (at) gmail (dot) com, or call Amanda Filipi at 308-436-3777.
