Animal Encounters

Campers must have completed grades 3-5

July 13th - July 17th


Get up close and personal with the live animals of Tanglewood. From a Spotted Salamander to a Great Horned Owl, you will learn how they live and how we make them happy! Campers will see all 40 animals on site and get to know them from beak to tail. In our hands-on program, campers will feed, care for, and handle amphibians, reptiles, mammals, raptors and arthropods. Campers will learn about the habitats, diets, and behaviors of our animals. We will also hike, observe animals in the wild, and create projects that will enrich our animals’ lives.

June 29th- July 3rd   K-2 & 3-5 Sessions

Start your summer out right by taking a walk on the wild side! This camp will embrace all that is wild at Tanglewood, from the tops of the trees to deep in the dirt and everything in between! Discover how our ecosystems work and all that inhabits them. Campers will dissect owl pellets, use binoculars to look for birds, capture bugs and identify them, inspect a fallen log, and much more! Each day is a new theme and campers enjoy live animals, crafts, games, hikes and exploration.
