Camp Wildlife Reports

This page will feature the lists of wildlife that we view each day at camp with the children. The lists will be arranged by week (session) and day so that campers can access the lists later at home to catch up on any of the animals that they may have missed while we were journaling; campers will also be able view the full lists and discuss the day with their parents.  Another fun activity is to compare which species each camp sessions finds in the wild; children might like to think about why different sightings might occur on different days. Which factors, such as weather and time of day, might affect a species list?
