Our popular reptile camp is growing! This year, campers will also meet amazing birds as they explore the natural world through live animal encounters, artistic expression, and outdoor play.

Plainfield, NJ (Address provided upon paid registration)

Join us for a distinctive one-day immersive art camp blending up-close animal encounters, creative expression, and outdoor play in a bespoke, beautifully crafted experience. Don't miss this incredible, family-inclusive day where science meets self-expression

Thanks to the popularity of our reptile programming, we're excited to expand the experience this year by adding birds to the mix!

Have you ever wanted to feel a snake on your shoulders? Or hang out alongside a majestic bird? Our campers will go beyond just observing; they will learn about these fascinating creatures’ textures, colors, and movements, and then translate those organic experiences into art projects.

Camp will take place both indoors and outdoors (weather-dependent), with water activities included during outdoor play.
