Program Description
Event Details
Get ready for a week-long adventure where we learn about the different animal classifications, life’s interconnectedness, and biological adaptations! Students will have the chance to learn directly from live animal participants while learning about their unique features. Students will gain skills in identification, the basics of field research, and ecological preservation. From dissections to displays, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn all about animals!
This camp is led by Sara Slack, a graduate student at Marshall University. Lunch and snacks will be provided. The camp goes from Monday 6/15 through Thursday 6/18, from 10:00am to 4:00pm. All campers must be picked up from the library by no later than 4:30pm each day.
Space is limited, so be sure to register to reserve your spot in the program. Registration opens May 1st.
