Campers will learn the tools, tests & time it takes to care for the zoo animals. This camp will dive into the digestive, skeletal, muscular, respiratory & circulatory systems. We will set up an operation and stage a little bit of "surgery & diagnosis" as well.
Happy Hollow offers full-day camps for young animal enthusiasts throughout the summer for ages 5 to 13 years old. Camps are filled with interactive, educational activities, animal encounters, zoo tours & nature play opportunities. Every camp at Happy Hollow is uniquely themed to provide fun, hands-on learning experiences & memories that will last a lifetime. Each week of camp follow a different theme & incorporates a variety of age-appropriate activities & adventures.
