Combining science, animals and traditional summer camp activities to create the most fun you have ever had!

Imagine spending a week or more, feeding monkeys, walking llamas, petting porcupine, training parrots, bathing miniature horses.  At the same time, enjoying all the fun of a typical summer camp; swimming, fishing, exploring a cave, tie dying a t-shirt, roasting marshmallows, shooting a bow and arrow, making crafts, singing songs.  Cub Creek combines the best aspects of a traditional summer camp, a science camp, a zoo camp and an animal camp to create a truly one of a kind experience.  Cub Creek Science Camp began operation in 1993.  Each summer we have campers attend from nearly every state and many different countries. 

We offer one of the only Jr. Vet programs in the country, as well as a one-of-a-kind Adopt an Animal course, a crime science course, physics, chemistry and sixteen other hands-on courses.

We stand apart from other camps because of our many animals, our unique program opportunities and our fantastic camp facility. 

Some of our most recent course additions include; Riflery, Fabulous Foods and Pottery

Bear River Ranch and Cub Creek Science Camp are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association.

Cub Creek Science Camp takes place at Bear River Ranch, in Rolla, Missouri.  Cub Creek is a Missouri Summer Camp.  We have campers attending from all 50 states and many other countries.  Each week we meet campers at their gates when they arrive to the St. Louis International Airport and accompany them to camp.  Our Missouri Summer Camp is in the middle of the United States, in the middle of Missouri and close to everywhere. 

Don't let the distance prevent your child from having the time of their life.  Campers flying a nonstop flight to St. Louis is easy and safe.  You put them on the plane, we take them off the plane and they call you when they arrive.
