What makes something living vs. nonliving? The answer is probably harder to pin down than you think. In fact, there are still biologists today that debate over this question. This is just one of the questions you will attempt to answer as you learn about the different living organisms around the world. Closer to home, there is a variety of life just behind the museum in our wetland and prairie habitats to observe and study. 

In this biology camp, we will learn what makes the Earth so unique from any other planet we know of (so far): its huge abundance of life. From the tiniest bacterium to blue whales to a network of fungi that spreads for miles around its center of growth, the Earth is full of life. You will take a close look at organisms, both past and present, that can be found just in and around our museum. You will learn how to identify them as well as learn what they can tell us about our environment.
