Eco Exploration

Using aquatic ecosystems, we will spend a week learning about how to design experiments, collect data, and make conclusions about our research questions. Along the way, you will learn about the plants and animals that live in and around ponds, or interact with pond environments for food, shelter, and reproduction. We will explore water chemistry and systems, learn why aquatic macroinvertebrates are ecosystem indicators, and dig into why ponds (and other aquatic environments) are important for healthy ecosystems. Your guide for this week has a Master of Science in Biology with a focus on Marine Ecology and currently teaches at Colby College. For ages 11-13. This camp runs July 10 – 14, 9:00 a.m. – noon.

Cost: $65.
Maximum Enrollment: 6
