Ipswich River Nature Camp: Naturalists - Slither, Slime and Scales
Description
Do you enjoy searching for snakes, salamanders, frogs, and toads? Campers will explore freshwater habitats such as the vernal pool and the Ipswich River in search of our amphibian friends, as well as in sunny spots where reptiles may be found. Campers will also spend a day learning how to paddle a canoe up the Ipswich River to Perkins Island. At the end of the week, special guests from Rainforest Reptiles in Beverly will stop by to present live reptiles.
Naturalists camper to counselor ratio is 8:1.
