At BUG CAMP 2019, the children will get up close and personal with insects. They will learn why we can’t live without insects and about the value of different insects. They will explore the good, the bad and the “buggly” of our relationship with the insect world.

Each participant will have an opportunity to take home and ’host’ an insect if they choose during the session. Bugs are good, bugs are fun! Come to BUG CAMP 2019 and find out why as we explore insects through bug crafts, nature walks, science activities and the UT Insect Zoo!
