Games & Crafts: Campers will enjoy creative, animal-themed crafts and games that bring learning and play together.

Education: Each day, campers will discover fascinating facts about the animals we care for. Plus, we often welcome special guest speakers to share their animal knowledge and passion throughout the week.
