Is your child crazy about Animals?? Well this is the camp for them! It's fun, furry, feathery, creepy, crawly and definitely scaly! The campers will learn about exotic animals; their habitat, diet and enrichment necessary for the well-being of the animals as well as disease prevention, handling and lots of loving! We also explore and learn about the environment which affects animals and humans alike. There will also be various speakers and field trip opportunities to enrich the experience.

In this course students will study the basics of large animal husbandry, including but not limited to, horses, sheep, goats and pigs.
