Junior Zookeeper days can often be long and exhausting for our youngest campers. That's one big lesson we learned in 2008. So, this summer, we're creating a series of special "Junior Explorer" days to give our youngest campers a chance to visit the nature center for games, crafts, and special volunteer time from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. on days throughout the summer.
Much like the Junior Zookeeper program, Junior Explorer days are offered throughout the summer. A camper can sign up for a single class - such as a Monday class on "Feathered Friends" - or a series of classes, coming once a week throughout the summer. Families are encouraged to find the schedule that fits their budget and their summer calendar.
Cost
Individual Junior Explorer days cost $35. This cost covers their T-shirt, Junior Explorer notebook, as well as invitations to the graduation ceremony.
If campers would like to attend more days, they can sign up for our gold plan. Under this plan, they can choose five classes for $150. Additional classes are $30.
Daily Schedule
Each Junior Explorer day lasts for four hours, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Snacks and drinks are provided throughout the schedule. Each day includes hands-on classes with the animals, crafts, games, and special volunteer time.
(Please note: During winter 2009, our winter break camp is designed for kids from 6-12 years old. So Junior Explorers are welcome to join us!)
