Rising PreK–5 campers spend five days exploring habitats, adaptations, and wildlife from around the world. Younger children use imaginative play to travel among environments and meet animals such as seals, zebras, penguins, and pygmy hippos. Older groups investigate the traits that help animals survive in tundra, desert, and other habitats through zoo exploration, games, art, and age-appropriate scientific inquiry.
Campers must register for the grade they will enter in fall. Rising PreK campers must be at least 4 on the first day and independently toilet trained. A legal guardian must complete registration, and required forms and current medical information are due by May 1 or within 72 hours of a later purchase.
Optional aftercare runs until 5 p.m. for $150. A $65 nut-free lunch package includes a daily snack; families who do not purchase lunch must pack nut-free food requiring no refrigeration.
