Join us for an exciting March Break Zoo Camp at the Magnetic Hill Zoo! This year’s theme, Wonderful Winter Wildlife, will explore the incredible adaptations that animals use to survive and thrive in the winter all around the world! Campers will learn how certain wildlife endures cold temperatures, finds food, and stays safe in snowy habitats through engaging activities and hands-on experiences.
Campers will learn, play games, make crafts, visit the winter hardy animals at the Magnetic Hill Zoo, prepare enrichment activities for the animals, meet animals up close in the classroom, play outside in the snow and at the playground… all while having FUN!
Please note, we will have one English class with two leaders, and one French class with two leaders. Spots are limited, therefore make sure to sign-up ASAP and reserve your child’s spot!
