STS Last Day!

Sea Turtle Savers

We made it… to our last day of turtle camp and our last day of our 2020 summer camp! It has been a great week and summer here! To wrap up our last day we headed up to Coral Cove State Park to snorkel for the morning. The tide was really low this morning, but we still got to see a lot of cool animals (crabs, fish, and a sea hare). Afterward we drove back to LMC for lunch and to finish the movie we started yesterday.

We played our ecosystems game where half of the group was the ecosystem and the other half were sea turtles. They had to find either food, shelter, or water in order to survive, otherwise they became apart of the ecosystem. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and learn why it’s so crucial for living things to have all of those in order to survive.

We ended the day going on our hammock hike, which is a short trial walk just behind LMC. We saw a lot of cool plants and a couple animals. It was still pretty hot and sunny outside, so we took a long water break at the end of our trail where we have a pavilion. From here you can just see the ocean over the dune and treeline.

It was a great week and we enjoyed helping your campers become official sea turtle savers! From all of here at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, we wish you a happy and healthy 2020! It has been a challenging year for everyone, but we have all persevered and will continue to do so, together! Thank you for making this a memorable summer!
