Waterbugs Natures Treasures

Event Summary

This camp is intended for children who have completed 1st and 2nd grades.

Calling all explorers! Search for nature’s treasures as we follow maps, make mini rafts, investigate wildlife, and step into creeks and marshes. Discover Story County's natural areas through hands-on activities, art, stories, games, and journaling. We may visit the following areas (locations may change depending on water levels):  

McFarland Park: Pond, prairie, forest, and creek—we’ll experience several habitats and the bugs, birds, and other creatures that live there.

Cooper’s Prairie Marsh:  This restored marsh adventure is a natural "jungle" of cattails, sedges, rushes, muskrats, yellow-headed blackbirds, and dragonflies.

McFarland Creek: We’ll flip rocks in the riffles and shallows of the creek and search for crawdads, water striders, and natural clay.  

**Expect that your child will be VERY wet or dirty when you pick them up (including Monday)**
