UNCA Offers Kids' Summer Bug Camp

Students in grades 4-8 will have a chance to lay their hands on some creepy, crawly creatures at UNCA’s Summer Bug Camp. The one-week program, designed for students interested in biology, will foster creative and analytical thinking through interactive, discovery-based learning. Activities will include field trips and identifying, curating and experimenting with insects.

Three sessions are available: June 4-8 or June 11-15 for rising 4-6 graders and June 18-22 for rising 7-8 graders. Classes will meet from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in Rhoades/Robinson Hall on the UNCA campus.

Tuition is $185 per student and includes all course materials and recreation activities. Students are required to bring a sack lunch.

For more information and to register, call Tim Forrest at 828/232-5150 or Herb Pomfrey at 828/232-5154 in UNCA’s biology department.
