Wildlife Discovery Camp - Summer Day Camp for Kids

It's time for Wildlife Discovery Camp, our second annual Summer Day Camp for kids! Bring your child out to join us for a week of hands-on encounters to learn about 13 different species and conservation.
Day Camp is from 1pm - 3pm Monday - Friday, June 22nd-26th
Come out for a single day for your child to learn about their favorite species or join us for the entire week at a discounted rate. Each day includes a completed take-home activity for your child, a lesson about the animal featured that day, importance of conservation and an enrichment activity for the animals.
This week long camp is for kids ages 4-14. There is no true viewing area and camp is for kids only. Please limit bringing non-participating siblings to only newborns and only one adult per family to reserve space.
Parents will not get to participate in animal encounters during kids camp. We encourage you to attend a family-friendly event or book a private tour for a family inclusive visit. Our volunteers and staff will happily take photos of the camp participants and we will share a Google Drive folder at the end of the week for you to save memories.
What to expect during week at camp:
Monkey Monday - June 22nd
*Meet all three species of monkeys we have at the ranch! Our spider monkeys, capuchins and squirrel monkeys are all ready to greet our campers. Campers will get to experience hand-feeding a monkey, get close enough to pet and watch them swing and play.
*Monkey themed art project.
*Campers will put together an enrichment box to learn about the importance of foraging for monkeys.
Otter Tuesday - June 23rd
*Meet our Asian Small Clawed Otters, Fisher and Ocean. They are one of the most playful animals here at the ranch and they are excited to meet all the new campers.
*Bring your towel if you want to get wet! Campers are welcome to put their legs into the 10' wide pond and splash around with our otters (it's only two foot deep). We even have super soakers to spray!
*Watch our otters paint a small canvas for the kids to take home!
Sloth/Bearcat Wednesday - June 24th
