Zoo Summer Camp 2013: Grade 5

Explore the wonderful world of animals through these five-day adventures. All camp programs include TONS of fun—animal encounters, behind-the-scenes visits, bus rides, games, and “snaft,” which are edible food crafts! The famous Dr. Zoolittle, along with other entertainers, will do midday shows that are sure to be a hit with campers entering 5th grade in the fall. Choose one or more weeks of fun.

How Adaptations Help Animals Survive

Animal Body Builders:
Tongues that grasp, noses with amazing suction power, insects with horns, and much more will be explored in this fun camp dedicated to a closer look at adaptations. Lots of keeper interactions and treks into off-exhibit areas make this camp a winner.

Creature features so unbelievable that they seem to be from another world are the target study for this camp.
