Spring Break Camp!

Spring Break Camp at the Zoo has officially begun! Last week, our first batch of campers, ages 4 to 11 years, had a great time hanging out with the animals.

The 4 & 5 years olds learned about the beauties and the beasties of the animal world during their Beauty and the Beast camp.

Armadillo on the move
Even the strangest looking beasts, like Boccee the three-banded armadillo, are beautiful.
White-throated monitor
The same goes for Ollie the white-throated monitor lizard!

During the Blend, Bolt, or Bite camp, the 6 & 7 year olds learned about the many different ways animals defend themselves.

Hedgehog
This camper learns that you can touch the hedgehog's prickly spines, but you sure wouldn't want to take a bite!
How do those blue death-feigning beetles defend themselves? They play dead, of course!

The 8 to 11 year olds became animal trainers during Dr. Zoolittle’s Animal Training Camp.

Our new animal trainers show off their goat-training skills to the younger campers.
