Session 1: #TerryTime with Kris

Kris Shelby teaches campers about Central Bearded Dragons.

This session’s campers have been busy all week with loads of activities to choose from. One of our free choice activities here at Camp is #TerryTime with Kris. Terry is a bearded dragon who resides here at Camp ASCCA. Terry is about five years old, and she has met many campers over the years.

#TerryTime is run by a member of our outdoor education program staff, Kris Shelby. This fall, Kris will be in his senior year at Mississippi State University studying Wildlife Fisheries and Aquaculture. During #TerryTime, campers get to sit one-on-one with Terry as Kris introduces her and gives information about her species.

Camper Carrie Underwood enjoys spending time with her favorite Camp ASCCA mascot.

Terry is a five-year-old Central Bearded Dragon. One of her guilty pleasures is to eat a big pile of mealworms despite their lack of nutritional value. A bearded dragon’s diet typically consists of earthworms, insects, fruits, and vegetables.

Terry is a very gentle bearded dragon who is very open to meeting new people. Terry loves to hang out with people, and she is very affectionate.

#TerryTime is just one of several interesting activities we have had throughout Session One. To see more pictures of Terry, click here.
