This program brings students into the exotic world of bats. Learn about echolocation bat calls, hibernation and migration. Make a Bat t-shirt at the end of the program! With pollinator extraordinaire Jerry Schneider.  

Participants will learn about our wonderful local butterflies, how we can attract more butterflies to our back yards, create a butterfly garden and some ways we can conserve butterfly habitats.

Participants will learn all about archaeology, the study of people who lived in the past, as well as the artifacts they find. Excavate hidden objects and repair broken artifacts at hands-on stations!
