:: 2020 Camp Ducktails Session Themes (ages 4 – 5)

  • Session 1: July 9th   WHO LIVES IN A TREE?
    Ever wonder what it would be like to live in a tree? A tree is a home for many different animals. Trees provide food and shelter for many animals and for people. Find out who has their own “tree house.”
  • Session 2: July 16th   WHAT’S WILD?
    Wild animals are called wildlife. They can take care of themselves. Animals that are not wild depend on humans to care for them. Would you want a mountain lion for a pet? Find out why it’s not a good idea.
  • Session 3: July 23rd    OH DEER!
    An animal’s habitat or home is a place that has the right kind of food, water, shelter, and space for it. We will learn what kind of habitat a deer needs to survive. We’ll even get to see a whole deer skeleton!
  • Session 4: July 30th    HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
    Wild animals must learn to find food and avoid being eaten. They use camouflage to blend in or hide in plain sight. Do you like to play hide-n-seek? We’ll learn some expert tips from nature’s best hiders!
  • Session 5: August 6th   FISHING FUN
    We’ll learn all about fish and fishing. We will play lots of fun fishing games and practice water safety. We may even get a chance to go fishing if the weather is nice!
