  Can frogs give you warts? Do opossums really hang upside down by their tails? Are bats actually blind? Join us as we put these famous animal myths to the test! Campers will dive into the scientific process — forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and uncovering the truth behind some of the wildest animal misconceptions.
