Camp Tips and FAQ's

Meet new friends and have a blast as you discover the amazing world of animals – great and small. We'll explore the cute, the slithering, the howling and the hissing through live animal presentations, games, crafts, stories, music and projects.

Our full week experiences immerse your child in animal lore and the natural world with age appropriate activities. Each day we will discover fascinating facts as we investigate a different group of animals from birds to reptiles to insects and more.

Find out what a snake feels like, watch monkeys play, discover how spiders kill their prey and see just how large a lion's footprint is. Experience a real wildlife safari on the brand new FuFeFo Safari Ride!

Hands on, up close and personal encounters with a variety of our animal friends make these camps a unique and memorable experience.
