Critter Care

   Finished K- Finished 2nd Grade        

August 4th – August 8th

  • Care for and meet some of the over 40 species that call Tanglewood home during this Hands-On camp!
  • Create enrichment and comfort items, such as blankets, to be used at Tanglewood and other animal shelters.
  • Practice your new animal care skills on take home pets like pet rocks, pipe cleaner lizards, and even a dog made from recyclables
  • This camp is ideal for kids who love animals, want to learn how to care for various animals, and aren’t afraid to get a little messy while doing it.

Please make sure to read our camp guide. The guide has all the information you need including registrations, cancellations and what your child should bring to camp.

June 29th- July 3rd   K-2 & 3-5 Sessions

Start your summer out right by taking a walk on the wild side! This camp will embrace all that is wild at Tanglewood, from the tops of the trees to deep in the dirt and everything in between! Discover how our ecosystems work and all that inhabits them. Campers will dissect owl pellets, use binoculars to look for birds, capture bugs and identify them, inspect a fallen log, and much more! Each day is a new theme and campers enjoy live animals, crafts, games, hikes and exploration.
