Nature is full of builders. From bees to beavers, animals build their own homes and structures and inspire human engineers. Campers will explore the world of natural engineering, search for animal structures outdoors, build homes for backyard critters, complete nature-based STEM challenges, and get creative with art inspired by the world around us.

Dinosaurs versus mammoths. Giant reptiles versus mega mammals. Jurassic heat versus Ice Age cold. Compare these colossal animals, learning more about how they survived and became extinct, and decide which you believe should be crowned the kings of prehistory. Learn how paleontologists study these colossal creatures of the past and what the fossils can tell us about the places they lived.
