Buzz Flutter and Bloom was a blast! We learned all about pollinators from butterflies and bees to beetles and bats. We explored, planted seeds, made sun catchers, and had a great time with the chickens and bees in our observation hive.

Our campers this week had a great time and so did the families that joined us for our activities. We have 5 more weeks of fun and exploration. Learn more at www.msdeltanature.org/events.
