Did you know there are more bugs on this planet than there are ANY other creatures combined? Insects are a very important part of our ecosystem, whether in downtown Atlanta or right here at Camp Meriwether. During this weekend, we will go for bug hikes, make bug hotels, play in the dirt, learn about pollinators, and have a ton of fun doing it! If you love insects or are just curious about these fascinating creatures, everyone will learn something new about bugs during this weekend.
