Welcome to Wildlife Detectives Camp! In this five day camp, you will learn how to follow clues that will help you to identify animals. Each day, you will learn about signs that animals leave behind like their tracks, and you will learn how to identify animals based on the sounds or calls that they make. If you enjoy animals and mysteries , then this camp is for you. The syllabus outlines the topics of each camp meeting so that you will know what the camp topic of the day is. My teaching style is asking questions to begin class discussions and using visual graphics such as slideshows. At the end of camp, a pdf of a certificate of completion will be sent to each camper. ***Friends and Siblings*** All learners must be enrolled in the camp in order to be fair to the other enrolled learners.
