Seeking South America – Summer Camp Week 3
Can you guess what sneaky, slithering creature we learned about that week? Snakes! Last week on our Passport to Adventure camp we journeyed to South America, and we could not travel to South America and the Amazon Rainforest without putting a spotlight on snakes! We had a wonderful visit from the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy.
Whirlwind Tour of Europe – Summer Camp Week 2
