I have written a lot about the unique experiences that SeaWorld Orlando offers children at its summer day and resident camps, and for the last two years my dolphin-loving daughter has experienced the fun for herself.

You can join Disney in supporting National Wildlife Federation’s campaign to save monarch butterflies
Posted onWhen I come across a reference to Ranger Rick, the National Wildlife Federation's ambassador, fond memories of my tween years come rushing back when I had the plush version of the raccoon and a subscription to the magazine.

The Federation has a longstanding commitment to bringing back America's monarch butterfly population, which has declined by 90 percent in the past 20 years. It supports the nationwide Mayors' Monarch Pledge, which has so far recruited 300 cities, counties, and towns in the monarch flyway to create more habitat and educate their residents. It also supported the designation of Interstate 35 as a monarch highway.
