Welcome to Buggin’ Out, where you’ll journey into the magical and mystifying world of bugs as you become a certified and trained bug expert. Grab your magnifying glass and your curiosity caps as we set out on an inquisitive expedition to learn about the buzzing, flying, and crawling creatures that rule this kingdom. We’ll spend our days embarking on muddy and messy adventures as we discover where they live, what they eat, and how they move. As part of our exploration, we’ll participate in a hands-on environmental education session led by the Pinhead Institute, diving deeper into insect science and the important role bugs play in healthy ecosystems. Along the way, we’ll also enjoy a mix of classic outdoor fun, including art projects, scenic hikes, a rock-climbing session, and even a SUP/boating adventure. We’ll make costumes that transform us into our favorite crawling creatures, build sanctuaries for our new little friends, and maybe even discover some new species. This will be a big adventure into the tiny universe of bugs!
