Temple Ambler, WVWA, to Host Nature Camp

The following release was sent to Patch from the WVWA, but we know much our community values nature, so we thought we'd share it:

The Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association, in partnership with Temple University Ambler, presents the second annual Summer Nature Camp. This camp will be held Monday- Friday, July 9- 13 from 9 am - 4 pm for campers ages 8 to 12.

The camp will be held at the Temple Ambler Campus on Meetinghouse Road with field trips in the Wissahickon Watershed. The cost is $249.00 per camper and there is a 10% discount for registrations before April 30, 2012.

WVWA Educator Suzanne Smith-Oscilowski explains that students will learn the following during this fun and informative one-week session:

What is nature? Who lives in the woods and wetlands?  Explore insects, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and plants--even plants that bite back! The campers will track wildlife, take wetland walks, build animal shelters, play games and create art from nature as they explore local woods and wetlands.
