The Saturday morning Kids Camp Program focuses on nature, archeology, arts and science. Kids will enjoy a different topic each session!

This week's topic is "Bug Hunt: Insect Life:"  

South Florida is a semitropical region with lots of rain and warm weather most of the year. That is why bugs love this environment. The Deering Estate is host to hundreds of insect species that make up the bulk of biodiversity in our park. A presentation will introduce participants to the world of insects. This is followed by a guided bug hunt where students get to collect, observe, draw and release the specimens they catch.
