Wait, look over there! It’s Wildlife Explorers—one of 10 epic adventure weeks! Join our zany zoologists on a thrilling expedition into the world of animal antics! From art to STEM challenges, campers will explore the fascinating lives of animals through hands-on activities, creative play, and wild discoveries!
What Are Adventure Weeks?
Adventure Weeks are week-long, themed summer camp programs designed to engage campers in exciting, hands-on experiences. Each week offers a unique theme, encouraging kids to explore new interests, tackle challenges, and develop new skills in a fun and supportive environment.
Adventure Week Activities
Each Adventure Week is packed with tons of activities for kids to explore. From specialized outdoor adventures and games to crafts and stories. Here are some activities campers will do this summer:
Animal Zoo
Investigate the paws, claws, and wings of your favorite creatures! Campers will explore the science behind zoo design, learning how different enclosures impact the animals’ happiness and well-being. They’ll use their creativity and problem-solving skills to design the ultimate zoo, focusing on habitats, enrichment, and conservation while also learning about responsible animal care.
Animals on the Move
It’s time to learn about magnetic fields! Campers will engineer and design an animal that "migrates" using magnets and metal objects. As they build their animal’s journey, they’ll discover how magnets work and the exciting science behind animal movement—especially during migrations!
Waiting for Wings
From caterpillar to butterfly, campers will learn about the amazing life cycle of butterflies. Then, they'll create their very own pair of wings! This hands-on activity brings the transformation to life and shows just how extraordinary nature can be.
In this Adventure Week, campers will:
- Develop Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills: Through activities like designing animal enclosures and engineering migrating animals, campers will enhance their ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and apply creative solutions.
