Throughout the week, campers will meet Aviary experts from a variety of departments, learn about animal training with classroom visits from Animal Ambassadors, explore habitats to learn how they are designed to meet both animal and human needs, AND try their hand at making crafts our birds will love to explore with their beaks and claws!
