Have you ever wondered how many species of animals live around you? That is exactly the question bio-blitz camp tries to answer at Wolf Ridge! A bio-blitz is an event that tries to catalogue as many species as possible in a certain location. We will use the Wolf Ridge campus and will focus on a different category of animals during each day of the event, using scientific tools appropriate for that group. This could include looking for mammal tracks, using dip nets to collect water bugs, binoculars to look for birds, setting a light trap for moths, identifying the plants around them, and so much more. Campers will see an ever-growing list of species through their whole time at camp!
Want some healthy competition? The two bio-blitz sessions run during the first and last weeks of camp. Who can find more species? Or, join in on both and see what new things emerge later in the year!
Session 1: June 23-26
Session 2: August 9-12
