CAMPERS LEARN ABOUT HIBERNATION

Campers at SPREE's February 20th Holiday Camp got to explore where animals go in the winter. We did a relay to collect food and added layers of clothing to represent layers of fat. Campers then made hibernation shelters (hibernacula). We had fun making bats and creating a bat cave inside the building. Campers also learned about diapause and went on an insect hunt around Johnson Habitat Park.  

We closed the day with a performance about animals in winter. Campers made their own sock puppets, rehearsed lines and put on a great show! Thanks to our River Rangers from KIPP Denver Collegiate High School for their help teaching and having fun with everyone. ​​

​We still have some space at our upcoming spring break camp and final spring holiday camp. Come join us for fun activities along the South Platte River:
