Girls Exploration of Nature

North Carolina Land Snail

What a great shot! Could it be the rare Noonday Globe Snail (Mesodon clarki nantahala) found only in North Carolina? We’re not sure, but we think it’s a really cool example of the discovery that nature provides girls around camp (It’s lush, to say the least!). A camper in the photography activity took this photo last summer wandering around camp.

Our camp alumni are always quick to tell us about their memories of the plants, animals and insects they remember from camp… Snails included!
