4-day, 3-night Summer Camp at ONSC: Learn How to Fly With the Pollinators

ONSC offers a unique, immersion-based approach to learning about nature and the natural sciences. Students visit us for authentic science learning experiences that are correlated with national and state science learning standards and provide in-depth education in biology, ecology, geology, social studies, and nature art – all while students have fun hiking and experiencing nature. 

ONSC's Pollinator Camp is designed to celebrate Pollinator Week, and will give campers the opportunity to learn about a variety of different kinds of pollinators (including some unusual ones, such as beetles and reptiles!), their habitat needs (including native host plants, water sources, and pollinator houses), and problems they face.  Campers will also get to help with actual research on native bees of Arkansas and our Arkansas State Butterfly, the Diana Fritillary!  Other camp activities will include day hikes, night hikes, team-building, games, and small-group activities.

Campers will be divided into field groups for hikes…
