Herp Camp (FULL)
August 2-5
Ages 8-15
Herpetology Camp aka Herp Camp has its roots in the HERP Project, a North Carolina based project encouraging education, conservation, and field ecology experiences related to herpetology (the study of reptiles (snakes, lizards, turtles, alligators) and amphibians (frogs and salamanders)). Herp camp is heavily focused on science and therefore campers can expect to spend time each day learning about NC native species, including their diet, habitat, and key identifying characteristics. Because science isn’t always boring, campers also spend a good deal of their time putting their new found knowledge to use in the field lassoing lizards, tracking turtles, and surveying snakes!
