Sandy Point Camp Explores the Mangroves!

We took an in-depth field trip in the Sandy Point creek to find out exactly what animals and plants live in the mangrove ecosystem. We found fiddler crabs, pufferfish, damsel fish, houndfish, barracudas, a Blue Heron, a Yellow Crested Night Heron, sea anemones, upside-down jellyfish, and many other interesting things! The junior camp had a chance to try kayaking for the first time!

Blue Hole Presentation and a Visit to Sawmill Sink

On July 18th, the Marsh Harbour campers were lucky to have a presentation on blue holes from Mrs. Nancy Albury of the Bahamas' Antiquities Monuments and Museums Corporation. After the presentation, the group visited Sawmill Sink to study the vegetation surrounding it, then to take a swim inside!

Mrs. Albury explains what it's like to dive into a blue hole.

Later in the afternoon, Mrs. Albury visited the Sandy Point Junior and Senior campers to give a presentation on blue holes and caves. Thanks Mrs. Albury!!
