Summer 2027 · Rising 3rd – 6th · Watkinsville, GA
Critter Adventures
We go where the animals actually live. Campers meet reptiles, farm animals, bees, and safari wildlife, and they spend the day with the people who care for them.
- 4 days
- 1:00 – 4:30 PM
- 14 campers max
- Field trip every day, transportation included
What the week looks like
Every day runs on the 1:1 rule: a minute of instruction earns a minute of hands-on time. No grades, no quizzes, no ranking anyone against anyone.
