The Lion’s Paw: Beyond My BackyardÂ
\nSTEM and literature will take campers take a virtual trip of Martin County’s most famous waterways as they set off through the rivers and canals and the swamps of central Florida\, following the adventures of two orphans and a boy named Ben through The Lion’s Paw by Robb White. With Ben's uncle\, the Coast Guard and bounty hunters giving chase\, they travel to the Gulf of Mexico and the then-wild beaches of Captiva Island\, where the lion's paw might be found. Join AAALC for exciting investigations of the Florida outdoors! We'll take an in-depth look at a variety of Florida's ecosystems with emphasis on the Everglades\, St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon. STEM activities will enrich our understanding of how these ecosystems are interconnected\, the wildlife and plants that inhabit them\, and how to contribute to their preservation. Hands-on activities incorporating math and science will be emphasized.Â
