Choose the days that work for you from the selections below. Make sure to pack a lunch for each day; we'll take care of a snack in the morning and afternoon. Groups will be divided by age depending on registration levels.

Early Bird and Late Owl (All Ages) We know busy schedules and work commitments don’t always work well with a 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. camp schedule. Take advantage of our early drop-off and late pick-up program to make Winter Safari work for you! Campers will be supervised by education staff the entire time, enjoying games, activities and stories. Simply register for either Early Bird (7:30-9 a.m.) or Late Owl (4-6 p.m.) for as many days as you need during the week. Cost is $5 for each morning or afternoon, available every morning and afternoon that camp programs are offered.

All programs are for youth ages 5-12.

Groups will be divided after registration according to age levels.
