Thanksgiving Critter Camp
Thanksgiving Critter Camp
November 25–27
Daily sign-ups available
Preschool through 6th Grade
Kids in San Diego can spend Thanksgiving break with animals at Critter Camp! Your child’s compassion and appreciation for animals will grow as they interact with a variety of species. Each day also includes a craft, awesome activities, fun games, and the chance to create new memories and form new friendships.
Thanksgiving Camp Themes
Monday (11/25) – Family Furst
The holiday season draws family together from near and far. Find out if animals value these relationships in the same ways that we do when you interact with a miniature horse, rabbit, parrot, bearded dragon and hermit crab.
Tuesday (11/26) – Animal Appreciation
Meet an alpaca, dog, pigeon, water dragon and Madagascar hissing cockroach while you learn about the various reasons why we should appreciate all animals, not just the cute and cuddly ones!
Wednesday (11/27) – Gobble ‘Til You Wobble
Do the seasons affect what critters consume, and are their eating habits unique? Discover the answers when you meet a sheep, guinea pig, dove, millipede and snake.
Species may vary depending on animal health, safety and availability.
