Campers will uncover the truth behind some of the most common myths and misconceptions of the animal kingdom in this week full of discovery and surprise! SUPERPOWERS OF THE PLANET: The ability to fly, spew acid, set sticky traps, become invisible and deploy body armor are just a few superpowers that can be found in the creatures of planet Earth! During this week, campers will study the amazing adaptations that give plants and animals “superpowers” and then consider those adaptations as they create their very own superhero or villain!
