We will be learning all about nocturnal animals. Participants will spend the first three days of camp making art about nocturnal animals. We will put it on display in the Douglas Wolfe Educational Gallery alongside some specimens from the Kingman collection. The last day of camp we will meet at the Kiwanis Youth Conservation Area, located at 22300 15 Mile Road, Bellevue, where we become the nocturnal animals. We will go on a night hike, do some nocturnal games and roast marshmallows at the fire pit. For ages 8 to 12.
