Summer
Camps Connect
with Nature
Northwest campers should be
prepared for encounters with
bears, cougars and bobcats this
summer — not to mention gi
raffes, elephants and flamingos.
The Oregon Zoo’s popular sum
mer camps return June 17, with
programs for children 4 years of
age through eighth grade.
Each weeklong camp includes
crafts, songs, stories, snacks,
animal visitors and in-depth tours
of the zoo. Camp activities, spe
cifically planned for the interests
of each age group, cover every
thing from designing your own
zoo to learning about veterinary
medicine.
The zoo’s professional camp
staff has been helping children
explore the wonders of wildlife
through fun, hands-on learning
since 1983. Staff members are
selected for excellence in pro
gramming for children and typi
cally have also worked for pub
lic schools, OMSI, Outdoor
School or Audubon.
