The first in-person camp of the year was held July 9 at the Navarino Nature Center, W5646 Lindsten Road, Shiocton. Camp Creepy Crawly Critters helped elementary-age children (and family members) learn about life that can be caught in a bug net. The nature center, which includes education as one of its missions, has offered take-home camp kits as an alternative to in-person camps this year.Carol Ryczek | NEW Media
