How do we know what animals live here at the Heard? What signs and tracks do they leave for us to find?

We’ll take a hike outside and see what evidence of different animals we can find. And we’ll make some of our own tracks or signs to take home.

Ages K – 6^th grade (5 – 12 years)

Preregistration is required and spots are limited.

Tuition: non-members $24/person; members $21/person. Please wear clothing appropriate for spending time outside walking on uneven terrain.

Note about COVID-19
All mini-camp participants will be required to wear a mask while inside and while outside when in The Animals of the World exhibits. A health screening for all staff and participants that may include a temperature check will be done at check-in. Social distancing will be maintained as much as possible while inside and on the trail. All supplies used during camp will be single-use and/or disinfected between use.

What happens to birds in the winter? What is migration and do all birds do it? What do birds eat? And who flies the fastest?

We’ll investigate these and other things about birds. Everyone will also get to make a feeder they can take home to share with their feathered friends.

What dinosaurs lived around here? Did all dinosaurs live at the same time? What other animals lived with the dinosaurs? We’ll spend some time digging into these and other dinosaur and fossil questions. We’ll go outside and explore the Dinosaurs Live! exhibit and find out about what fossils we find here. Everyone will also get their own fossil to keep.
