Reptilia Christmas Camp 2007/2008

Our goals are simple:

• teach children about nature and reptiles

• give them experience caring for reptiles

• provide a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn about reptiles

• prevent children from getting eaten by our reptiles ;-}

Food:  Snacks will be provided for the campers in the morning and afternoon.   Lunch can be provided at an additional fee.  Hot dog, drink, and chips $3.99, Pizza, drink, and chips $4.99.

Staff:  Animal handling will be done by Reptilia’s professional handlers/instructors. In addition, seasonal staff will have gone through training prior to the opening of camp. 

Program: The children will be divided into 3 different groups. They are: 

• Geckos: ages 5-7

• Rattlers: ages 8-10

• Gators: ages 11-13

Each group will take part in age-appropriate activities including:

• interactive lessons about animals

• hands-on experiences with animal care

• arts and crafts

• helping with stage shows in our theatre

• aiding our zookeepers in actually feeding some of the animals

Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM on December 27, 28, 31 and January 2, 3, and 4.

Fees: $39/child/day

Before and After-Camp Programs: We realize that many people commute to work, so need to drop-off their kids a bit earlier and pick them up a bit later. The extended hours are 8:30am-9:00am and 4:30pm-5:00pm.  With that, these programs are available for an additional $5/early or late only or $7 for both early drop off and late pick up.

Safety:  At Reptilia, the well-being of the animals, clients, and staff is ensured through proper training of animal handlers and controlled settings for live interaction.
