The Sibley Nature Center will, once again, be offering its Summer Bug Camp. Staff member Michael Nickell, who has Master's Degrees in zoology and Museum Science, and a great deal of knowledge in entomology, will lead students through a week-long collection and study of insects. Students will collect insects for study on the Center's 49-acre Nature Trail. The camp is designed specifically for students that will being going into the 4th though 6th grades or that have just gone through the 4th through 6th grades. The camp is very specific for these grade levels. Students in last year's camp collected an impressive array of insects, learned about their habitats and behavior, learned about insect anatomy and how insects can both be harmful or beneficial to humans and other life.

The camp is one week in length and runs from 9 a.m. to noon each day. The cost of the camp is $50 (Sibley members will receive a 10% discount).
