Discover why animals often dismissed as pests can be valuable to the environment in this nature-focused camp for children in kindergarten through grade 5. Instructor Tracy Crofoot guides campers in learning about these creatures and their ecological roles. Weather permitting, the group will go outdoors to make observations and discoveries using a naturalist’s approach. The camp also introduces citizen science and ways children can contribute to conservation. Crofoot’s course biography describes an aquatic biology background and experience in zoo and naturalist roles. The camp meets Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Central Time at Community Education (Meadowview), 6100 195th St W, Farmington.
