What's covered?

Imagine taking a week this summer and doing what you do best - explore the world around you by immersing yourself in it...travel to undiscovered country in Central PA, observe and study species, hike through the woods and meadows, search for salimanders, turtles, and other insects, birds, fish, and animal species, and understand the connection that local fluora and fauna have with energy consumption.

Campers spend a week traveling to local wildlife locations within Centre County to gain insight on the connectivity of living things, microscopic and up! On friday, each team of campers will summarize their findings with a Public Service Announcement (PSA video). Parents are encouraged to attend the closing ceremony and share a part of this amazing journey!
