In the morning, the campers made zebras. The Juniors used this zebra craft to learn about diversity (every zebra has a different pattern of stripes, just like how every human looks a little different). Midday, Ms. Kristen led the campers on a playground safari. In the afternoon, the senior campers made 3D animals out of recycled materials while the juniors made zoo puppets and shaving cream tiger patterns.

In the morning, the Juniors and Seniors got their weekly DaVinci crayons. The Juniors then learned about Robert Irwin, who is the son of famous conservationist Steve Irwin. The Seniors got the chance to finish up their projects from the week. Midday, the Juniors learned about how zookeepers must bathe animals. They then got a chance to wash our play animals. Some of the Seniors chose to join them on this activity as well. Other seniors devoted their time to making posters that will decorate the senior room for next week's camp. After lunch, it was sprinkler time!
