Feathers and Flight Summer Camp (Five-Day)

FIVE-DAY SESSION: Monday, July 27 – Friday, July 30 
Ages 6 – 8 | 9 am – 3 pm
Members: $230; Non-Members: $250

Hummingbirds hover, storks soar, gulls glide, and tiny finches flap! Birds fly in many different ways, using their unique adaptations, to find food, escape predators, and even migrate. Campers will explore why many bird species fly AND the different ways in which they take to the skies – or don’t fly at all (looking at you, African Penguins!)!

Through classroom activities, up-close Animal Encounters, and immersive habitat exploration to get your kids moving and grooving all day long, the science of flight will come to life!

Date & Time

9:00 am - 3:00 pm
