MSU Tollgate Farm Splish Splash Water Week

Howdy Campers! Welcome to week four of the MSU Tollgate Summer Adventures! We are so excited to have you as part of this incredible journey as we discover and explore the wonders of nature from a distance but together. On this page you will be able to explore a series of activities, videos, and tips that will help you get outside, creative, dirty, and learning!

Dive into the world of the pond to investigate the animals, bugs, and plants that call it home. This week is perfect for the camper who is interested in fishing, splashing, and pond dipping for macroinvertebrates. Learn about water conservation and water ecology. What happens to the rain that falls on your yard? How do the plants and animals impact our water? Join us this week for all the water fun and have a splish-splashing good time!

We are using this summer camp platform as a way to stay connected this summer and get the youth outside and learning! We have decided to start a private Facebook Group for our blog this year as a simple way to help keep us connected. This private group will be a safe place to share pictures and experiences of your “camper” working on MSU Tollgate summer projects.
