The Petaluma Wildlife Museum's Summer Camp program is designed to engage and enthrall children ages 5 -12. Campers can look forward to a fun week of animals, insects, educational games/activities, and special guests!
The curriculum includes the history of the museum, animal care and handling, wildlife preservation, conservation and ecology, and incorporates relevant animal themes and activities which correlate with the availability of our amazing guest presenters.

Activities throughout the week may include:

• Gardening
• Painting
• Field games
• Puzzles, board games, activities
• Nature-based arts and crafts
• Water play…
• And so many more child-inspired special projects…!

Throughout the day, campers look forward to handling and caring for the museum animals under the supervision of our trained counselors.

Camp hours are from 9:00am-3:00pm.

Campers need to bring a snack and a lunch Monday-Friday.

Each camp session is one-week long and throughout the week, the children build on their knowledge and understanding of the museum, culminating in a child-led parent tour each Friday. This tour is the highlight for many of the children as they proudly share their knowledge, expertise, and familiarity with our museum with family and friends.
​
One session costs $400. A 10% discount is available for siblings enrolled in the same session, and for children who enroll for two or more sessions.

There will be 5 week long sessions: 

• Session 1- June 8 – June 12 (Canceled due to COVID19)
  
• Session 2 – June 15 – June 19 (Canceled due to COVID19)
  
• Session 3 – June 22 – June 26 (Canceled due to COVID19)
  
• Session 4 – June 29 – July 3 (Canceled due to COVID19)
  
• Session 5 – July 6 – July 10 (Canceled due to COVID19)
  

Looking forward to seeing your child next summer!
