Bugs and Botanicals Camp at Let’s Create — Come investigate the world of plants and bugs — not in a scientific way, but in a creative, crafty way at Let’s Create, 10471 Ford Ave., Richmond Hill. Campers will use plants to create unique pieces of art — perhaps even use them as a canvas. While campers won’t actually be using live bugs — yuck! — they will be finding unique ways to create creatures that crawl, fly and hop. This promises to be a unique experience for all involved. Class is $70. Camp dates are June 20-23, and time is 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Ages 6-9 are welcome. RSVP at letscre8.net or call 912-480-0007.
