Kids Camps

Join us for our exciting kid's science day camps. Our camps are designed to instill an enthusiasm and appreciation for wildlife and nature. Each day of camp is based on an exciting topic with activities specifically designed for ages 6-12. Kids will have an opportunity to explore wildlife and their habitats through education programs, games, crafts and apply what they have learned during an animal encounter.

Register your child for one day or an entire week!
