Come early July, wildlife biologist David Womer, owner of Back Into Nature, sets up a vast array of insects, birds, rocks and minerals at Albrook Summer Camp.  He has at least 40 snakes (none venomous), dozens of lizards (including bearded dragons), toads, frogs, hissing cockroaches, tarantulas and other insects to help him share his love of nature with children.  With such a large collection of critters, Mr. Dave is able to teach just about any animal topic you can imagine.  He also shares his vast experience on other nature topics, such as fossils, rocks and minerals, astronomy and volcanoes.  Mr. Dave specializes in making it fun and educational. A field trip is planned for full day campers registered for session 3 and 4.  All campers will enjoy a daily swim lesson in our heated pools.
