Animals have adapted their form, function and behavior over time. Whether it's gaining new teeth, blending in or standing out, speeding up or slowing down, or surviving new human interactions, we'll look at how animals have adapted to their surroundings over time. Camp runs 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday. Drop off at 8:30 a.m. After-camp care available until 5:30 p.m. for $50 per week. Ages 6-12.

What makes a snake scale tough and a feather light? Take a microscopic look at scales, feathers, shells, and more as you discover what animal adaptations are all about. Half day camp for 3rd and 4th graders.

Discover and explore the natural world that exists within five local ecosystems that make up Maine's ecology. Campers will learn the basic ideas of ecology and how living things interact with each other and their nonliving environment. Each day will have a different theme focusing on the habitats around us including forests; freshwater, coastal, and peatland wetlands; and open field habitats. Through daily field trips and activities, campers will observe and study the natural environment of plants and animals typically found within habitats located in our community. Campers will gain an understanding of how plants and animals use physical and behavioral adaptations, as well as interactions with other species, to live in these habitats. Through self-guided and group projects, campers will build a strong foundation for an understanding of ecosystem ecology. Open to ages 9 to 12, no experience needed. Camps run Monday through Friday, 9:00 am until 3:30 pm.
