Over the past three days we got to see our amazing campers learn to kayak, identify birds, and explore marshes and rivers. On Wednesday, we learned how wetlands act as filters and how to kayak leaving no trace. We traveled to the Provo River Delta to kayak, spotting bald eagles, a muskrat, and a partially submerged telephone pole. On Thursday, we created life cycles for imaginary organisms and built beaver dams. We explored the Provo River at Alligator Park, where we encountered stonefly larvae, ducklings, and water beetles. On Friday, we looked at algae and insects collected from both sites underneath microscopes. Then, we returned to the Provo River Delta to bird along the shore with binoculars, go on a treasure hunt, and kayak to the bald eagle nest. Our campers had a blast and us educators did too!
