Nature Day Campers discover the 'Secret World of Ijams'



Summer camp went by so fast we didn't always have time to post. So here's a look back at week 4 of Nature Day Camp: The Secret World of Ijams geared for ages 8-9 (entering grades 2-3).


Campers went where no one has gone before! Off the trails, into the woods and under the ground to find the parts of Ijams regular visitors don’t get to see. They found out some of the hidden mysteries of the park.

Senior naturalist Peg Beute was Master of Ceremonies for the week and she knows all the secrets of Ijams.

We caught up with them on the day they explored the Plaza Pond and learned the difference between native pond plants and invasive plants like parrot feather.
