Register Your Wild Ones.
(Ages 6-10)
Winter 2011 Camp registration is open!
All I Want for Winter is... December 19-23 and 26-30, 2011
Explore how we keep “hot” animals staying warm in the winter and how the “cool” animals enjoy the cool Colorado weather. Learn more about the different climates our animals are native to and how they are adapted to those climates, as well as what type of acclimations they have made for our climate. Spend some time learning about our Rocky Mountain natives and finally find the answer to the question “Do the Zoo’s bears hibernate?” Each day will include time inside and outside as well as some up close and personal time with some animals right inside the classroom.
Participants may register for all five days of a week, or any number of days during the week.
Stay tuned for Summer 2012 Camp registration - starts early 2012!
