Description:
Mill Mountain Zoo presents the 2019 Spring Break Camp titled Zoo Venture starting on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 and continuing daily through Thursday, April 18, 2019 with half-camp, full day and single day options available.

Mill Mountain Zoo’s Spring Break Zoo Venture is back! As in years past, each day has a special theme and is chocked full of fun and educational activities. There will be hands-on interactions with animals, guided zoo tours, games, art activities, stories and more. To make it easy for any schedule, parents can pick and choose half days or full days and can enroll their children in one day or in all three!

Tuesday's theme is "That’s Gross!". Scent marking, regurgitation, eating your own skin and even eating your own…dare we say it? Poo! These are just a few of the behaviors animals can engage in that people may find pretty yucky. Campers will spend the day learning why these behaviors are so important and how they actually help animals survive.

Zoo Venture is designed for students ages 5-13. Half day camps run from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm or 12:30-3:30 pm. Campers can also be enrolled in the full day from 9:00 am - 3:3 0pm. All camps are outdoors and occur rain or shine, so students must dress appropriately. Tennis shoes are required. Full day campers should bring along a lunch that does not require refrigeration. The zoo will provide water and juice.

Registration deadline is Monday, April 8, 2019.

Reservations can only be made with full payment. No refunds are given unless the zoo cancels camp. Space in all camps is limited. To register, fill out the downloadable registration form available online at http://www.mmzoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Mill-Mountain-Zoo-Spring-Break-Camp-2019.pdf and return to the zoo with full payment.
