Black Bear
Full-day camp for children ages 6 - 8.
DETAILS
Black Bear lets kids spend the day tracking a grizzly bear, traveling through the forests of Borneo and discovering the Wild in our very own backyard. Each curriculum has a theme which will develop throughout the week with zoo exploration, activities, games, big body play and empathy building opportunities. Curricula align with age-appropriate learning and development standards with an emphasis on both a camper’s development as a scientist and peer collaboration.

Zoomorphology
Flying in the air! Sneaking through the forest! No matter where they’re from, animals have amazing adaptations that help them survive. Through imaginative play, outdoor games, sensory exploration, and visits to the animal habitats around the zoo, campers will marvel at the diversity of animal adaptations.
What's Wild?
Close your eyes and imagine the wild…what do you see? You might see the African savanna, the rain forests of Borneo, or the Cascade Mountains. But what about your own neighborhood? Wild is all around us, waiting to be experienced. Through imaginative play, outdoor games, sensory exploration, and visits to our animal habitats, campers will experience the wild places of Woodland Park Zoo and connect to the natural spaces all around them.
