Description
Cadet Wild Rides (9 to 10 years old) [7/22 - 7/26]
What about the rides? Every camp season our animal enthusiasts want to know more about our "Frog Hopper", "Dragon Fliers" & "Danny the Dragon Train"-like experiences. This highly-requested camp will teach campers how the rides move like the zoo animals do & how we make it happen. We will combine a study of the animals & explore the rides through behind-the-scenes tours, games, crafts, activities, animal encounters & wind-in-our-hair experiences.
-Campers must wear closed-toe shoes for safety. One (1) camp shirt will be provided & campers are asked to wear the shirt each day to camp.
-Campers must bring their own cold lunch, 2 snacks & a refillable water bottle each day. Food is not available for purchase. Refrigeration & microwaves are not available for use.
-Sunblock must be applied at home before arriving at Happy Hollow. If you wish for your camper to re-apply, they will be given the opportunity to do so at lunch time. Staff will not be able to assist.
-Campers must be clear of any illness symptoms for over 24 hours in order to attend camp. If a camper shows illness symptoms during camp, a pre-approved adult must pick-up the camper within the hour.
-A welcome letter, parking pass & instructions will be emailed to you a few days before the start of camp.
-Refund & Transfer Policy:
Refund & transfer requests will be given for requests made in writing at least 14 calendar days prior to the start of the program. No refunds or transfers will be made for cancellations less than 2 calendar weeks before the program start. There will be a $10 refund processing fee for each activity cancelled or transferred.
