Last Day: Camp: Animal Ambassador Friday, July 27, 2012 From 8:30 am to 2:30 pm

Ever wonder what it’s like to feed an eel? Handle a snake? Befriend a frog? Go behind-the-scenes of ECHO and encounter our aquarium animals like never before. Over the course of the week, campers will adopt an animal of their choosing. They will work alongside our animal care crew tending to and studying their animals. They will then put their know-how into action by participating in a live animal demo for ECHO guests, friends, and families! This camp is the perfect offering for fish fanciers and lizard lovers alike. 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. For students entering Grades 2 - 3; Limit: 16; Member: $265 Non-member: $295.

Our "Get Closer to the Lake" Camps are ECHO's signature set of camps designed to grow with your child's passions and interests year after year. Our youngest campers develop their sense of wonder in our half-day "Science & Stories" Camp. Those entering 1st grade go behind-the-scenes of a working Lake Aquarium and Science Center during our full day "ECHO Adventurers" Camp. Campers at the 2nd and 3rd grade level adopt and gain in-depth knowledge about ECHO's aquatic animals during our "Animal Ambassador". 4th and 5th graders head out on UVM's Melosira research vessel and build their own ROV during our "Aquatic Discovery Camp". Finally during "Explore the Shore Camp", 5th-8th graders partner with their instructors to conduct field investigators in and around the Lake.

After care is available until 5pm for $15/day or $60/wk for all "Get Closer to the Lake" Camps except "Science & Stories." For more information and registration, please go here http://www.echovermont.org/events/camps.html
