1. Charlotte Wings: Pollinator Adventure Camp: Take your curiosity to the next level with Charlotte Wings: 49er Minors, where hands-on science meets real-world conservation! Designed for middle-grade learners, this camp encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving through exciting, nature-based experiences.Campers will explore the vital role of North Carolina's pollinators by joining the Butterfly Highway initiative, participating in a Pollinator Plant ID & Scavenger Hunt, and venturing on a dynamic "Monarchs at the Lake" field trip. Along the way, they'll discover the amazing journey of monarch butterfly migration-learning how these delicate travelers journey thousands of miles and why protecting their habitats is so important. Example Theme - "Let's Soar with the Monarchs".
