Bear Cub

Partial day camp for children ages 4 - 6.

DETAILS

Summer Camp 2021

Bear Cub helps guide children as they discover animals throughout the zoo. Each curriculum has a theme; the lens through which campers will build skills such as mindfulness, peer collaboration, empathy and scientific inquiry. A daily routine including morning circle, bathroom breaks, snacks and lunch will help set campers up for school year success. While the daily routine is the structure of the curriculum there is day to day flexibility which allows instructors to focus on campers’ immediate needs and interests; each day is a new adventure.

Bear Necessities

Every bear cub camper—and real-life wolf pup, penguin chick, or porcupette—needs the same basic things to survive and thrive. We all need a safe home, healthy food, and clean water, but do those things look exactly the same for everyone? Campers will spend the week discovering how their own needs and the needs of animals are the same, yet different!

Look! Listen! Touch!

Take a deep breath, and smell all the scents around you. Now imagine you were a bear! What you could smell then would be worlds apart from what a person can! Every single species—including people—have their own collection of senses that set them apart from all others. We’ll explore all of them in one sensory-packed week!
