Sam Hindman, 9, pulls a net full of pond weeds from the water while in search of invertebrates and other aquatic life during the Kansas University Natural History Museum's Aquatic Biology Camp at the Baker Wetlands Friday, June 17, 2011. In addition to slogging knee-deep through the wetlands, the camp, composed of counselors and about 20 8- to 10-year-olds, examined specimens and recorded their observations about the natural environment.
