Welcome to Animal Planet week, where youth explore the wild wonders of the animal kingdom! From the deepest jungles to the highest mountains, and from desert dwellers to ocean explorers—this week is all about learning, playing, and discovering the amazing creatures that share our world. Youth will channel their inner zoologist, learn about animal habitats, behavior, and conservation, and have tons of fun with themed crafts, games, and challenges!    

We’re incredibly thankful to our Week 4 Sponsors, J. Roberts and the Sewell Family, for their generous support of our Summer Camps.
