Animal Colors

Animals A to Z​
From Anteaters to Zebras, we'll use the alphabet to explore "Animals A to Z." Campers will discover the diversity of animals found on our planet through games, dramatic play, art, and sensory exploration. Daily exhibit visits and up close animal encounters will bring concepts to life!

Zoo Detectives
Campers will become Zoo Detectives as they examine evidence and decipher clues around the zoo. Each day campers will use the power of observation and inference to solve mysteries taking place right under their noses. With the help of Detective I. Spye campers will hone their own detective (and scientist) skills to solve any mystery that comes their way!  

This camp is for children entering 1st or 2nd grade in the fall of 2022.

Little Zoo Vets
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a zoo veterinarian? What do you do when a tiger has a tooth ache or an elephant has a sore foot? How do you anesthetize a fish or an aardvark? Does a walrus say "ah"? In this after-camp class, students will learn about the different aspects of zoo veterinary medicine taught by WCS veterinarian Dr. John Sykes. Classes will involve real veterinary medicine equipment and supplies. Students will gain an appreciation of what zoo veterinarians do every day and how animals at the zoo are cared for.
