She loved every minute of the experience. Fur and Fins Camp Parent 2013 My child attended Meet and Greet in the afternoon. The camp counselors were super engaging and taught him SO much. He LOVED these camps :) It is so great to see children learn about animal life and how to protect them. Thank you very much for what you do and for doing it so well. Meet and Greet Camp Parent 2013 My daughter has attended your camp every summer for the last 3 years. She loves it! Jr. Animal Encounter Parent 2013 I would highly recommend these camps. Helping Hands Camp Parent 2013 Both my kids loved their experience, & my husband & I appreciated that there was a curriculum & that it was science based. Meet and Greet Camp Parent 2013 I was impressed by the dissections and in-depth study about the animals. It was not “dumbed-down.” I also appreciated that they kept notebooks to diagram the animals that they dissected. They got to experience the sea-creatures first-hand on the snorkeling excursions.
