Wet ‘n Wild Camp at the Darke County Parks’ was another week of success for the Parks. We had fifteen 6-7 year olds who collected critters throughout the week.

The week consisted of taking a Wetlands Hike, Creek Hike, Frog Hunt, and going Fishing.

During our creek hike at Worth Persevere in the Greenville Creek the children collected fish and a seemingly endless supply of crawdads. Before going to the pond to catch some frogs, the children were shown different amphibians and reptiles who call the Nature Center home. We saw several frogs during our hunt, but were not lucky enough to catch any of them. Fishing on Friday was also a huge success; we even caught one bass which was about 1.5 feet long. The children were excited each and everyday to get wet again and to find different critters from the day before!

If your 6 and 7 year old missed out this year, be sure to check out our camps for next summer!
