Cryptozoology is a common fascination - unexplained creature sightings have been a part of human history for as long as we’ve been recording our history. While Nessie may be the most well-known of lake monsters, she’s not the only one or even the oldest of them! Below you will find a few lake-dwelling cryptids and their histories.

Inside the Theme: Feed Me, Human! (Digital Pets)

By |2019-09-17T17:51:31+00:00September 17th, 2019|Inside The Theme|0 Comments

Around the IGGPPC, we love our pets both real and digital. This month’s theme, Feed Me, Human! is an homage to our pets that exist in cyberspace. Somewhere between Pogs and Furbies, the “it” toy to have was the Tamagotchi. A keychain-sized digital pet that required love, attention, and care - and would die without them. These digital friends have adapted to our smartphone apps and exist in new games like Neopets, Animal Crossing, and  Pokemon Go. The IGGPPC staff are here to share a bit about their virtual critters and introduce some IRL pets too!

We asked our Camp Staff and Troop Counselors to share a bit about their camping experiences, both with the IGGPPC and out in the world.
