Last week (June 25-29) was our Junior Explorers summer camp with kids ages 5-7. I was a little nervous as that Monday had only been my fourth day working at PTMSC and I was still learning all the ropes. However, this was a fun group of kids and it was a great learning experience for all of us. We went over everything from marine mammals to tide pools to insects to birds.

| On Wild Woods Wednesday, we looked at insects we found on the trail. |
 |
It was Tidepool Tuesday with a great low tide! We found crabs and a sea cucumber among many other cools things.
|
 |
| Build-a-bird! We have our "loon" on the left and our "eagle" on the right. |
 |
| Making sand critters on the beach! |
 |
| At the end, we somehow ended up digging holes to bury people in... |
So as you can see, we had quite the adventures that week! Even some inclement weather couldn't dampen our enthusiasm. I think the kids came away with a better understanding of the creatures we share our home with and hopefully this will make them want to take part in conservation efforts in the future.
Your new PTMSC intern,
