Bug Camp
For students entering grades 3-7
July 17-21, 2023, 9 am-noon
Learn about Alaska’s insects and their relatives - from our beautiful butterflies
and dragonflies to our less-loved mosquitoes and spiders. Through field, forest and
pond, under rocks, in flowers and everywhere else, we’ll collect (catch and release
some, keep others to build a collection of preserved specimens campers can take home)
and study these fascinating many-legged tiny animals.
Taught by Derek Sikes, UAMN Curator of Insects, and Melissa Sikes, Natural Resource Education Specialist at the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation
District .
Register through UAF Summer Sessions.
