Nature’s Classroom
By James T. Black, photography Cary Jobe
The caterpillar could crawl—but he couldn’t hide. “Here’s another one!” Chris Chamberlin calls out.
Campers hurry to examine the bush as Chris pulls back a branch. “It’s a monarch butterfly caterpillar,” he says. “See the black and yellow stripes?”
Kids and counselors learn to care for the environment at Virginia’s Nature Camp.
