They brought back a mystery creature, shown here in the top left corner:
Campers were extra determined to identify it, so they pulled
out aquatic entomology books and their colored pencils so they could draw it in
their journals. With a little help from Hitchcock staff, we guessed it was a
creeping water bug in its nymph stage.
The
Young Naturalists began the day by talking about where our food comes from. The
went on their first field trip to the berry farm. Campers picked every kind of
berry at Nourse Farms: blueberry, red raspberry, black raspberry and even some
late-season strawberries! Later
they cooled off in the sprinkler, which was a huge hit!
