CFW Summer Camp

Our summer camps are the perfect place for your child to connect with nature while making new friends. Our camp staff are experienced in creating fun, safe environments for kids to learn. While campers are separated into two groups -  younger (ages 5-7) & older (ages 8-12) - they also play and learn together each day.  Through hands-on activities, games, arts, and encounters with our live ambassador animals, your child is guaranteed an experience they won’t forget.
 

Spaces are limited each week so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible!

If you are a CFW member, don’t forget to log in when registering to receive 10% registration.

While camps have a weekly theme, ALL weeks of camps include:

  • Play: campers get to be kids - with structured games and nature-based free play!

  • Artistic Time: campers express themselves with sketching, painting, storytelling and more

  • Animal Care: campers help us care for our non-releasable ambassador animals

  • Ambassador Meet & Greets: campers will get close-up encounters with reptiles, birds, and mammals!
