Come for float with RiverWatch!
🌊 Day 2 is underway at RiverWatch Summer Camps in Calgary! 🐞☀️
The rafts are on the water, the paddles are moving, and another incredible day of adventure and discovery has begun!
Today is Bug Day as our campers become young scientists, exploring the fascinating world of aquatic insects that call the Bow River home. They’ll also search for insects along the shoreline and in nearby parks, discovering how these tiny creatures play a huge role in keeping our river ecosystem healthy.
From water bugs to dragonflies, every discovery helps campers better understand the amazing biodiversity living right in Calgary’s backyard. 🪲🦋💧
Another day of learning, exploring, and creating unforgettable memories on the Bow River! 💙🚣🌿
