Kids' Nature Class - Camouflage - The Art of Disappearing

  • 375 Riverside Dr. Bastrop, TX 78602 (map)

Welcome back to the Outdoor classroom!

Some creatures don’t run or roar - they simply vanish. In this sneaky and surprising class, we’ll explore how animals and plants “hide in plain sight,” and why blending in can be a powerful way to stay safe. We’ll search for hidden critters, play an exciting camouflage game, and even invent our own camo creature designed to disappear into the land around us. Come ready to look closely and be amazed!

About our classes:

Our nature classes are geared towards ages 6-16 and lead by our knowledgeable Lost Pines Master Naturalist volunteers. We meet in the Bastrop County Nature Park outdoor classroom. All students should be accompanied by an adult, and most adults choose to learn along with us! Classes are usually held on the third Wednesday of the month, with a break during the hottest summer months.
