Museum Explorer's Summer Camp - Coyote
FULLDo you like to learn about animals that live in the Sonoran Desert? Are you interested in getting an up-close and personal view of some of those animals? How does visiting an animal's off-exhibit holding area sound? Feeding an otter? How about meeting animal trainers and keepers and finding out what it takes to do their job? Of course you can't learn about the Sonoran Desert without talking about the special plants that live here. Why do so many of them have spines and barbs? Let's not forget to include learning about the native waters of Arizona and the Sea of Cortez. Add to all of that, meeting new friends, playing games and winning prizes, creating one of a kind crafts and just having a whole lot of fun. If all of that sounds like fun, then this is the summer camp for you!
