Black Bear

Full-day camp for children ages 6 - 9.

DETAILS

Summer Camp

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.

Summer Camp 2023 Themes

Wildlife Puzzlers

Scientists solve puzzles. Animals solve them, too! The world is full of things to figure out. In this camp we’ll play games of the body and mind, from an escape room to figuring out solutions to some real wildlife conservation problems!

Tales from the Wild

Storytelling is one of the most human of pursuits. And throughout history, animals have featured in many of our tales! In this camp, you’ll learn the real stories of some of our zoo animals’ lives, and create animal stories of your own. We’ll create books of poetry and prose, make puppets, and act out a story of each camp group’s own creation!
