Grace's First Day at Ecology Camp

Today, was my first day at Ecology Camp. Ecology Camp is located at Lincoln Memorial Garden, here in Springfield, Illinois. Ecology camp is a nature camp where you hike and learn about the different habitats that animals live in.  Today, we learned about woodlands, prairies, wetlands and savanna habitats. 

At Ecology Camp we need to bring the following items:

Bug Spray
Sunscreen
Sun Hat
Water
A lunch
(2) Snacks
A notebook
Colored pencils 
A towel & 
Water Shoes

We need our notebook and colored pencils because our counselors want use to take time during the day to sketch things in the woods that we like. Maybe later in the week my dad can take pictures of my drawings to share with you. We need a towel and water shoes because during the week we will go into Lake Springfield which is near the Lincoln Memorial Garden to learn more about the creatures in the wetlands. 

That's all for now, and I hope to write on Friday when Ecology Camp is over.

And like my Daddy always says...

Keep Hiking Forward
