We look forward to meeting our campers and enjoying campfires and telling stories about the ghost bear! Are you ready for camp? What activities will you not miss and what animals do you want to learn about?

Today we’re going to learn the camp song! Who’s ready to sing it with us?

On the shores of Lake Salamander, amongst the old live oak…

We enjoy Camp Ellie and Edmond and the frogs that croak.

We salute you Camp E & E and all your animal friends…

All our days are each a gem.

While we sit next to the campfire, telling stories of old…

We laugh and sing and watch the stars of gold.

We love you Camp E &E and all our memories of our days…

We hold Camp E & E close to our hearts and we’ll never stray!

O WOE IS WOBBEGONG!

O WOE IS WOBBEGONG!

wobbegong

 We love wobbegong sharks- in fact they may be one of our favorites! We have a wonderful poem about the wobbegong along with a coloring sheet! Enjoy! Make sure you check out our Instagram and Facebook pages- we have a groovy shark we have a groovy shark video to wrap up shark week!

O Woe is Wobbegong

O woe is me the wobbegong!
I lay here on the ocean floor!
I have fringe on my face called barbels.
They are not useful for picking up marbles.

O woe is me the wobbegong!
I am a shark don’t get me wrong.
I blend in with the sand and rocks.
I have fins so no need for socks!

O woe is me the wobbegong!
Laying here singing my sad song.
I don’t have to swim to breathe;
I have spiracles- nifty, see?

O woe is me the wobbegong!
My jaws and teeth are very strong.
I lie and wait until I see…
A fish!
Chomp!

 CAT! SHARK! CATSHARK!

We’ve really enjoyed Alien Sharks during shark week! They spotlighted small and unknown sharks. There are over 500 species of sharks in our oceans and we usually only hear about the biggies: great whites, tigers, whale sharks, etc… Today we’re featuring a small shark found off the coast of the UK! Can you guess it’s name?
