The Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center at Laredo Community College celebrated a significant milestone on Wednesday, May 28, when the center welcomed its 50,000th visitor.
LCC President Ramon Dovalina gave Newman Elementary Student Priscilla Elizondo a certificate and other gifts recognizing her as the Center’s 50,000th visitor since it opened its doors in 1999. The center, named after Laredo philanthropist Lamar Bruni Vergara, was established by LCC as a living laboratory for college students and local school children to observe animal and plant life while studying the eco-systems of the lower Rio Grande.
Priscilla, the daughter of Magdalena and Federico Elizondo, is a fourth grade student who enjoys studying math and science. When asked which was her favorite exhibit at the Center, Priscilla said, “The alligators, of course.”
The Center is home to a family of native alligators, now ranging in size from several inches, to several feet in length. Foxes, turtles, ducks and dozens of other species can be observed and their natural habitat studied at the center throughout the summer as part of the annual LBVESC summer youth camps.
LBVESC Director Tom Miller says camp sessions will include one week, half-day sessions for ages 6 to 8 and one-week sessions for ages 9 to 15.
Junior campers (ages 6-8) will meet Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Daycare is available until 4:30 p.m. for an additional charge.
Camp sessions for ages 9 to 15 will be from Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Awards will be presented to all campers at the completion of each session. Lunch will also be provided.
The LBVESC Summer Camp 2003 sessions will be held: June 2-6, ages 6-8; June 9-13, ages 9-11; June 16-20, ages 12-13; July 30-July 3, ages 6-8; July 7-11, ages 9-11; July 14-18, ages 12-13; and July 28-August 1, ages 6-8.
The fee for
each junior camp (ages 6-8) session is $100.
The camp sessions for ages 9-13 is $150 and the advanced camp (ages
13-15) is $175. All campers must be covered by their family’s medical
insurance in case of illness or injury while in camp.
