Welcome to the second week of Summer Safari Camp! We are so happy that your child is here to join us! Today was amphibian day, and campers caught fish and other water creatures at the creek and they made finger print animals! Your child learned that:
- Amphibians do not drink, they soak up water through their skin; this is why poisons effect them so much.
- Caudata means salamanders, and Anura means frogs.
- Animals hibernate when it is cold, and they excavate when it is hot and dry.
Today's animal was the pudgets frog. They natively come from Peru in South America. They excavate during the summer months, from November to February. Since Murmel the frog was lost, no one was the daily animal holder today. ):
At the end of the day, campers wound down by watching Fern Gully the Last Rainforest. The winners of Camper of the Day were Aubrey and JT!
Please remember to pack a water bottle for your child. Campers do outdoor activities everyday, and they need to stay hydrated! Also, sharing animals or instruments is encouraged! Feel free to bring in larger animals during the morning as campers arrive. Other smaller animals or instruments can stay in the room for the whole day.
