About this camp

The connections between plants and bugs are too numerous to count. From pollinators helping plants reproduce to hungry caterpillars munching on leaves, you could say it’s a complicated relationship.

We’ll explore all of the ways plants and bugs interact by playing games, doing a little planting and garden work, investigating the dietary habits of carnivorous plants and more.
