School Break Camp |
Expedition to Arctic Canada Friday, March 12, 2021 Grab your binoculars and let's go on an adventure to Canada's arctic! In this one day camp, we will investigate the unique climate of northern Canada. How do animals adapt to the arctic? Can plants survive in the cold? How is global warming affecting the northern environment? Through experiments, art and visits to our featured exhibit - Flora of the Canadian Arctic - we will answer these question and more.
