Each day is packed with special activities that ignite their imagination, including innovative STEAM projects that connect them to the environment. This isn’t just a camp — it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of nature where young explorers can discover, learn, and have endless fun. Sign up today and let their wild adventure begin!
Themes:
K-1: Butterflies, Bees, and Bats – Oh My!
Take off and buzz around the zoo to discover the magical world of butterflies, bees, and bats! Join us for a week of camp filled with exciting adventure, where little explorers will learn all about these incredible creatures through scientific discovery and exploration.
2-3: Guardians of the Garden
Defenders of the desert, assemble! The Living Desert is home to over 160 animal species…but what about the native wild animals who live here, too? Our dozens of gardens contain “galaxies” of plants and animals. Through animal encounters and animal behind-the-scenes experiences, campers will explore our native landscape and discover how to protect our local wildlife!
