Camps run 3 to 4 times throughout the summer. Every themed camp has the same cirriculum.
Hedgehog Camp - for campers entering grades 1-3 in the fall of 2022
Each day campers have up close and personal time with animals from all over the world. They will explore interactions between animals and how that all integrates into the “Circle of Life.” Campers will also learn about the care and feeding of our animals with hands-on participation. Together, we will explore and investigate conservation topics through activities, crafts, and games!
Cougar Camp - for campers entering grades 4-6 in the fall of 2022
There has been a mystery animal sighted at TCC! Join us as we learn the skills to become wildlife researchers and figure out who our mystery animal is! We also explore animal habitats and how environmental issues are affecting animal survival. Campers will have hands-on experiences and close encounters with our education animals.They may work on animal enrichment projects.
Zookeeper Camp - for campers entering grades 7-9 in the fall of 2022
This camp is an exciting opportunity for animal enthusiasts to get a first hand look at what it takes to care for the animals at The Creature Conservancy. Students will participate directly in aspects of zoo keeping such as food preparation and delivery, enclosure cleaning, and enrichment creation. Each day includes hands-on presentations of some of our most interesting animals! Camp will also include an emphasis on the research and conservation aspect of the animals at TCC.
