Wild Souls Camp ~ Ponds & Wetlands
Gabrielson Park - Gustafson Lake, Buena Vista County
Friday, May 31, 2024
The Buena
Vista County Conservation and Clay County Conservation Boards have partnered up
to present Wild Souls Camp. Wild Souls Camp is for anyone over the age of
eighteen who wants to get outside and explore nature.
Our
first camp will be held on Friday, May 31st at Gabrielson Park, just south of
Sioux Rapids on Highway 71, from 1:00 – 3:00 PM. The theme is
ponds and wetlands. We will start off the afternoon frolicking in the
pond, looking for all sorts of creatures from macro invertebrates to
turtles and fish. We will provide nets and buckets, but please come prepared to
get wet and muddy.
After
some good old-fashioned fun at the lake, we will venture up to the shelter
house for desserts baked in a Dutch Oven, fish print crafting, games,
and more! We will provide bandanas and/or tee-shirts for fish
printing, as well as all the supplies needed.
What
do you need to bring? Clothes that can get dirty, water shoes or mud
boots, sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle. We will provide the rest.
Registration
is required for this event as we have a limited space available. To register
call the Buena Vista County Conservation Office at 712 -295-7985 by Wednesday,
May 29th at 4:00 PM.
