If you are looking for even more activities options for your group please check out all the activity choices offered at Cub Creek Science Camp.  Most any of our summer activities can be adapted for user groups.

 

Adopt an Animal program:  One of the favorite activities of the summer is our "Adopt an Animal" program.  Campers learn about an animal and then become that animals adopted parent for their stay at camp.  They assist in all aspects of the animals care.  Groups with an educational focus can allow campers to research their animals prior to attending camp.  They could even make toys and treats for their adopted animal prior to arriving at camp.

Speak with Lori Martin if you are interested in this option.
