BUG CAMPS AT THE LEXINGTON EXPLORIUM
We are partnering with the Lexington Explorium to offer two age-specific entomology camps for children (K-2 and 3-5th Grade). These camps happen at the Explorium, where attendees will get a chance to explore the new Small World insect exhibit. UK Entomology and Explorium staff work together to design the curricula for these camps. WARNING: there may be BUGS!
Grades K-2: It's a Buggy World (June 27-July 1, 2011)
