About this camp

Do bears really love honey? Can plants move on their own? Can birds really predict storms? Are these tall tales or true facts?

Are these tall tales or true facts? Campers will put common nature myths to the test as they experiment, explore, and investigate the strange and surprising claims found in the natural world. From weather lore to animal behavior, this camp blends curiosity, creativity, and science to find out what’s real, and what’s just a good story.
