Join us at Busch Conservation Area for Camp Hellbender-no newts allowed! This summer camp is designed to let adults feel like a kid again and have some fun in the outdoors while exploring some of the best conservation areas in the region that MDC has to offer! At Busch, we will begin with a presentation all about some of our resident cold-blooded critters. We will even get to meet a few live animals! After, we will do some kayaking on the lake and create either a nature themed bandana or tote bag. Please bring your own water bottle and snacks. Refrigeration is available if needed. Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and water-resistant shoes for kayaking are recommended. Please register each participant individually. We will meet in the classroom located inside the Visitor’s Center at Busch. This program is part of our ongoing Camp Hellbender Series! We encourage you to participate in as many camp days as you’d like. Registration is required for each individual camp. Campers will receive a special sticker to commemorate each day they participate in throughout the summer, and all Campers will be invited back for our Stargazing Sendoff at the end of the Summer!
