Catching salamander rivene

After an awesome presentation on amphibians and reptiles by April Claus and some real live experience of different species, we, the campers, had the chance to catch species which live close to water just behind our dorm. Getting on some water or creek shoes, we jumped right into action because we were already familiar to searching for salamanders which we had done earlier the first week. We quested for cray fish, salamanders and larva for an hour, nonetheless, a myriad of aggressive and biting mosquitoes was kind of constraining our work ability. Our actual assignment was to look for salamander, though, and tell April how many we found. The major specie we identified was the 'Dusky'. After a little while, most campers' attention shifted more and more to abuse the environment of the amphibians by getting each other wet. However, one needs to explain that this was the very last activity we Creek Campers had scheduled. Subsequently, the increasing excitement for the upcoming fancy dinner and pool party was obvious.
At this point, I think I can speak for all campers if I say that we all enjoyed the two weeks very much and we want to thank the staff for picking outstanding activities for our stay.
