Salmon Station Visit

 Dear Families of current campers: Stay tuned for some pictures of Session Three: What Would Nature Do? which started yesterday! Here are a few last photos from last week.

 Last week as part of learning about systems and cycles, the Explorers visited the Salmon Station in Sunderland.
 Micky Novak, a biologist/educator there, met the campers to discuss the life cycle of a salmon and the work they do at the station. 

 Campers got to see salmon up close in the indoor tank, then got to put on waders and clean out the outdoor tanks so they could see the fish! 





Plus they got to hear some jokes from Micky, the ultimate joker! Such as: Why is the Connecticut River so rich? Because there's a bank on either side!

Thanks to Micky and everyone at the Salmon Station for an awesome field trip!  

Here are some more photos of the Young Naturalists’ favorite activities last session.
Ponding!

Making miniature gardens!

Watching Maizie the corn snake eat!
