The World of Bugs



We made some colorful bugs at camp. Did you know these neat bug facts?
  • Mosquitoes have 47 teeth, however, they don't use them to bite.
  • Dragonflies can fly over 60 miles per hour making them one of the fastest bugs!
  • Houseflies jump backwards when they take off to fly.
  • There are 900,000 different kinds of insects in the world.

Black Bear Sighting on the Leflay Birding Trail

The Leflay Birding Trail






The Leflay Birding Trail offers a great location to watch birds and wildlife. There are over 2 km of trails in the forest. This week at summer camp the students helped to paint new signs and then walk the trail and hang up the way finding signs in the forest. Bird watchers can follow the white trail, the orange trail or the blue trail. Visit our website to see more details on the trail: http://www.yfbta.com/leflay__birding__trail.htm
