Nature’Ology

A Free Single Day Nature Camp For Children 11 or 12 Years Old

June 6, 2026, 7:45 AM until 4:00 PM

Nature’Ology is a free, full day of hands-on discovery all about nature—snakes, spiders, prairies, birds, and the water cycle!

We’ll kick off the day with a guided nature hike, complete with loaner binoculars so every child can explore up close. Next, “The Snake Guy” of Grayson County will introduce his collection of live snakes, followed by a fascinating spider exhibit featuring hundreds of live specimens.

Students will create their own terrariums and learn about prairie ecosystems with Texas Master Naturalists. Then it’s off to the Butterfly Garden, where they’ll use insect binoculars to study bugs and flowers in action.

With plenty of opportunities to explore, get a little dirty, and learn by doing, this is a day kids won’t forget!

Siblings and friends are welcome!  Please register each child separately.
