CANCELED - Aquatic Biology/Herpetology Summer Day Camp
- Date: June 22nd, 2020
- Location: Oakes Museum
- Time: 9:30am - 4:00pm
- Cost: $325
In this five day camp we will be examining the aquatic communities that can be found in both a stream and pond ecosystem. Macroinvertebrates and fish will be sampled and examined to learn important identification skills and we will learn how macroinvertebrates are used to assess water quality. By sampling both stream and pond ecosystems students will be able to observe adaptions that are unique to both aquatic systems. The second half of the week will focus on amphibians and reptiles common to south-central PA. Students will learn to identify the more common salamanders, frogs, turtles, snakes, and lizards found in this part of the state. Basic natural history of all groups will be discussed. Daily field experiences around campus and off-site field trips will be an important part of this camp.
