Food, water, shelter, space--a habitat is a wonderful place. Discover the awesome diversity of places that the animals and plants of North Carolina call home and why we need to care for these amazing wildlife habitats. We'll investigate stream, pond, meadow, and woods and learn how to create and restore habitat using native plants, feeders, natural shelters, water sources, and more. Hands-on explorations, games, stories, and take-home projects will empower children to be stewards of their local ecosystems--even in their own backyards.

Campers will also learn how they can be citizen scientists and participate in local projects. Become a "Junior Naturalist" by the end of the week!
