Hands-On Reptile Adventure 3 Day & 5 Day Camp Themes

Day 1: Prehistoric Adventures
Your camper will learn all about fossils, dinosaurs, and endangered species through games and crafts including a real fossil dig as well as an animal name. This day’s lesson will be supported by a hands-on animal presentation including a Frilled Dragon, Sulcata Tortoise, Crested Gecko, Hissing Cockroaches, and Python Eggs.

Day 2: Jungle Quest
Today your camper is in for a real treat. They will still be learning, but today is centered around one on one observation of several exotic animals. Campers will learn how these animals rely on each other to build the web of life and the importance of every member of that web. Your camper will get the chance to observe an Iguana, Reticulated Python, Dart Frog, Tarantula, and a few additional surprises.

Day 3: Blend in or Stand Out
Campers will spend today learning about how some reptiles are specially designed with unique patterns and colors for protection from larger predators. Your camper will get the chance to be active playing several games that will provide first-hand experience on the importance of camouflage in the wild. The animals supporting today's theme will be an Albino Burmese python, Chameleon, and Emperor Scorpion.

Day 4: Swamp Day
Today is another Prehistoric Adventure camp day filled with all kinds of exotic animals found in swamps around the world including an American Alligator, False Water Cobra, Pixie Frog, Green Anaconda, Snapping Turtle, and Burmese python. Campers will also learn the importance of swamps in providing for the animals that live there.

Day 5: Backyard Safari
For our last day, your camper will get the chance to put together everything they learned at this year’s camp to get out and observe the animals right here in our own backyard including a Gopher Snake, Kingsnake, Rattlesnake, Desert Tortoise, and Beaded Lizard.
