Zoo Day Camps

Evelyn went to two day camps at the Henry Doorly Zoo - yesterday's theme was Big Cats, and today's theme was Penguins. This all-day event was an incredible amount of fun for Evelyn.

Some of the activities Evelyn did with the Big Cats were learning about where various cats live around the world, making chew toys for cubs to play with, decorating a plaster paw print, touching lion fur and touring the cat house. The packet she brought home included a picture of all the day camp kids in front of one of the white tigers' cage.

Today Evelyn learned about different kinds of penguins and various penguin behaviors, she made a couple of different penguin pieces of art, and, the BEST part of all, she actually got to touch a real, live penguin!

When asked which day camp she liked the most, Evelyn answer was, "Both!" Hopefully she can participate in the zoo's day camp next year.
