about a biological field trip to Camp Creek Wetlands

Camp Creek Wetlands is located in the southeastern corner of Shawnee County, Kansas. It is unique area that supports a diversity of plant and animal life. Educators (elementary to college level) have been using the wetlands as an outdoor classroom for a number of years.



Mr. Miller often took students from Topeka Collegiate School (a small private school located in Topeka) to the wetlands to conduct biological research when he was employed as a science teacher at the school between 1991 and 2001. Click on the above photo to read about one of the field trips.



Mr. Miller is no longer associated with Topeka Collegiate School. He has been employed as a science instructor Seaman U.S.D. 345 since 2001. He now teaches freshman biology at Northern Hills Junior High School. You can read about many of the activities that Northern Hills students have been involved with by checking out some of the links at the top of this page or going to the Northern Hills Junior High School science website at http://nhjh_science.tripod.com/NHJH_SCIENCE/.


Research continues at Camp Creek Wetlands. Photos and information about field trips to the wetlands since July 2001 can be found below. Feel free to contact Mr. Miller if you have questions or comments about the wetlands.
