Winter Camps Connect
Kids to Wildlife
Winter break is a great time for kids to connect with nature and ex-
plore the wild realms of the Oregon Zoo. At the zoo’s winter break
day camps — held Dec. 21-23 and Dec. 28-31 — campers embark
on an imaginative quest each day, meeting animals up close and
solving mysteries in different animal kingdoms. Camp activities
— intended for children in kindergarten through fourth grade —
include games, songs, stories, snacks, animal visitors and in-depth
tours of the zoo. “It’s a different theme each day, so campers can
come for one day, a few days or all seven,” said Tom Gaskill, the
zoo’s education programs supervisor. Prices for the day camps
are $41 per person per day for zoo members and $48 per person
per day for non-members. Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For
more information and to register, visit oregonzoo.org/daycamps.
