UrbanPromise Second Annual Monarch Butterfly Release





UrbanTrekkers the expeditionary learning program of UrbanPromise Ministries working with the staff and students of the Camden Forward School celebrated their second annual Monarch Butterfly release. "Gotta Go, Gotta Go to Mexico" the students chanted as they released the Monarchs to begin their miraculous journey south. Students and volunteers at UrbanPromise have created and nurtured a Butterfly habitat that serves as an outside laboratory. Each fall students collect the butterfly eggs from the Milkweed plants and then raise the caterpillars in their classrooms, watching the transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. Our garden celebration completes the cycle for this season but we can only long for their return next summer.

Peace, like a garden in Camden.
