A camp we have been exploring the wildlife and nature we have right here in Nebraska. On our wildlife hikes this week we have spotted snakes, tons of snails, toads, katydids, tons of delicious mulberry’s, mushrooms and many different species of insects. And today we found a tree frog (Copes Gray Tree Frog) 🐸 many of campers were not aware we have tree frogs in Nebraska so it was a great learning experience to be able view him and then set him back free. #camp #summercamp #omaha #nebraska #wildlifeencounters

Huge Thanks to our park ranger friends at Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail! They visited our campers to talk about being a park ranger, instruct on nature hikes, create plant presses and how to use our senses to observe nature around us. Thanks for being an incredible part of our camp!

We can’t wait to see our friends at @thecottonwoodhotel tonight! 🦘🐊

We have been so busy at camp and wildlife presentations we haven’t had time to upload any photos. Our first week of camp has been a blast! Campers have done some incredible activities including: *Meet animals like a honey bear, kangaroo, alligators, armadillos, tortoise, tarantulas, bearded dragons, tegu lizard, macaws, owls and many more. *Nature hikes - we collected samples to view under our microscope, caught bugs to identify via our lcd microscopes *Visit come our friends at Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail *Campers learned about the training techniques of K9 dogs at Omaha Police Department *crafts like making a painted pet rock, creating your own animal nightlight/statue, *Science experiments like egg drop, hatching triops from eggs (an actual prehistoric animal), using water and air pressure to shoot rockets 100ft in the air. We will be updating all the photos and videos to an album to be shared with summer camp parents and guardians. We’ll email that out as soon as possible. One more day of camp with this great crew! #summercamp #omaha #omahasummer #wildlifeencounters

When you are up all night building the perfect nest, it’s time to sleep! Armadillos like Bisquit, our 3 banded armadillo, like to burrow in blankets, hay and grasses. He received a new fleece pouch yesterday. So he compiled all of his hay and stuffed it in the pouch to build his nesting area. #armadillo #wildlife #animals #omaha #nebraska #3bandedarmadillo
