Day Overview
**Schedule Subject to Change
Question of the Day
AM: What could you build to help a snake shed in its enclosure? PM: How might this change depending on the specific type of snake that is shedding?
Zoo Exploration
Tropical Discovery. What did we see? How did this help us solve the Question of the Day?
Animal Experience
What animal(s) did we meet in our classroom? Why did we meet the ones we did? What did we learn from them?
Engineering Challenge
Campers build something that will help a snake shed its skin! What did we design it and why is that the best solution?
Further Exploration
What areas of the zoo did we explore in the afternoon? How did this help us better understand/apply the Question of the Day?
Game
How did you do when you had to “shed” your “scales”?
Taking It Home
Can you share what you learned about keeping snakes healthy? What do they need in their homes? What do you need in your home to be healthy?
Reminders
- Please review IMPORTANT INFORMATION, as well as our Policies and Procedures, to ensure you and your child are ready for camp.
- Campers must bring a lunch, water bottle, and dress for the weather (plus lots of walking!). As most animal exhibits are outside, we WILL go outside every day.
- A photo ID is required every day at pick up. Please notify the staff ahead of time if someone who is not on the authorized pick-up list will be picking up your child.
- To contact us during the day, add authorized pick-ups, or to arrange a late arrival/early pick-up, call the Guest Care Center at 720-337-1400.
