Week-long Camps:

• Cub Club: Home Sweet Habitat - From the forest floor to the tallest peak, all living things have a place they call home. We will spend the week exploring habitats from all over the world and discover what makes each one of them unique. Campers will have the chance to visit our local redwood habitat, meet animals from near and far, and create an animal home to place in their own backyard. 
  • Price: $150.00; extended care $10/day
  • Dates (choose one):  July 10-14  *  July 24-28  *  August 7-11
• Cub Club: Animal Tales - Myths and legends, tales and lore were how we got our information before. We will spend the week discovering the facts in what we read and look at how stories from long ago shape what we now know. With animal encounters, nature walks, and crafts galore, your camper will certainly be clamoring for more! Our week will conclude by telling our own story of adventures that campers will be able to take home and share. 
  • Price: $150.00; extended care $10/day
  • Dates (choose one):  July 17-21  *  July 31-Aug 4  *  Aug 14-18
• Jr. Zookeepers: Wildlife Heroes - Peccaries, (Red) Pandas, and Primates, oh my! Endangered species around the world are faced with difficult challenges to overcome, but you don’t have to be a super hero to help them out and make a difference. This week campers become Wildlife Heroes as we investigate why a species may become endangered, learn about people around the world who are making a difference and discover the easy steps we can take at home to help out too. Campers will engage in collaborative research, participate in dynamic activities, and create enrichment for our ambassador species. 
  • Price: $150.00; extended care $10/day
  • Dates (choose one):  July 10-14  *  July 24-28  *  Aug 7-11
• Jr. Zookeepers: Animedia - Technology meets nature as we spend the week creating our own animal stories using the zoo's tablets. Campers will work together in pairs or small teams to generate a movie or comic about their favorite zoo animals. When not filming, we will engage in improv games, learn the art of storytelling, and have opportunities to meet the subjects of our stories up close and personal. Campers need not bring their technology from home; the zoo has enough tablets for all. 
  • Price: $150.00; extended care $10/day
  • Dates (choose one):  July 17-21  *  July 31-Aug 4  *  Aug 14-18
