Wild Science Half-Day Camp (Ages 8 – 11)

Unleash your inner scientist and discover the incredible world of animal engineering and art! At this STEAM-based camp, we’ll conduct thrilling group engineering challenges, meet animal ambassadors, and discover the secrets behind animal adaptations to their environment. From engineering nests to survive an egg drop challenge and constructing watertight dams like beavers. We’ll also dive into hands-on art projects like gyotaku fish printing and making paper like wasps do.
