EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -
Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden is once again hosting the 2012 summer zoo camp: Zoo Explorers.
Eight weeklong sessions of full day camp and five weeklong sessions of half day camp will be offered.
This camp begins on June 4th and registration is filling fast.
Full day camps are geared for children ages 5-12 and emphasize learning in a fun and safe environment.
Two new themed weeks of camp, creature feature and mission green possible, will be offered this year.
On any given week a camper may enjoy crafts, turtle races, scavenger hunts, hiking, animal care, an insider's view of the zoo, and much more.
Older campers may also prepare a digital photo diary of their experiences, use modern techniques to study animals, or learn to train animals just like the professionals.
Half day camps are geared for children ages 4 and 5.
This is a great introduction to camp for those not ready for a full day commitment.
Extended care and box lunches are also available each day.
For more information, call (812) 435-6143 ext. 414.
You'll find registration forms here.
