Wildlife Makers
Every day, animals face challenges in the wild and it’s up to you to tinker, design, and create something great to help them. During this camp, you will meet animals up close and use everyday materials in exciting ways and through open-ended exploration and experimentation find creative solutions to some real world concerns about the animals in our care.
