Waterbugs Natures Treasures
McFarland Park, Story County
Monday, July 8, 2024
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)**
