As part of our internship requirements, the interns must create a project related to the area they are working. Our South America intern, Jonathan, created a "termite mound" for our anteaters with PVC pipes going through to put food and other types of enrichment. Chilli and Mr. Snoot are already excited to explore the mound! When it is this cold out and they have to be indoors, it is important that they have activities to keep them occupied. Thank you for the well thought out project, Jonathan!

Sign up now, limited spaces 👉https://shorturl.at/SOJgO
At this camp, we will explore the lives of diurnal animals to see the special abilities they need for being active in daytime. Then, we’ll flip the switch & investigate nocturnal animals’ nighttime powers! Along the way, we’ll meet some Zoo animals, make a craft, & enjoy fun, educational activities. A snack will be provided. An animal video will be played during lunch between morning and afternoon activities. Please bring a sack lunch & wear play clothes.
Curriculum is identical for each day; please register for only one session.
