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.
