GREAT NEWS, FAMILIES:
​The Petaluma Wildlife Museum's 2023 Summer Camp
is back and is the place to be this summer!

---

We are SO very excited to be able to re-open our doors and once again offer a fun and educational summer camp program for children in our community.  In 2019, the PWM Summer Camp was re-structured with new and innovative ideas to engage and enthrall children between the ages of 5 -12 years. In 2023, campers can once again look forward to fun-filled weeks of ‘up-close-and-personal’ animal interactions, cool educational games/activities, art and crafts, and special guest presenters. The curriculum will include learning about the history of the museum; animal care and handling; wildlife preservation, conservation and ecology; and will also incorporate relevant animal themes and activities correlating with the availability of our amazing guest presenters.

The following are just a few of the activities that may be offered each week:

• Gardening
• Carpentry
• Painting
• Field games
• Puzzles, board games, activities
• Nature-based arts and crafts
• Water play…

And, in-line with an emergent curriculum, we anticipate there to be many MANY more child-inspired ‘special’ projects…!

Every day campers can look forward to handling and caring for the museum animals under the close supervision of our Live Animal Curator, trained student docents, and camp counselors.

Requirements:

• Camp hours will be from 9:00am-1:00pm daily.
• Campers will need to bring a snack, lunch, and a water bottle every day.
• Each 1-week session is $400 (including a camp T-shirt). A one-time 10% discount is available for siblings enrolled in the same session or for children who enroll in 2 or more sessions.

There will be 6-week long sessions this summer:

• June 19 - 23
• June 26 - 30
• July 10 – 14
• July 17 – 21
• July 24 - 28
• July 31 – Aug 4

To reserve a spot for you child or if you have questions, please e-mail: Karen@petalumawildlifemuseum.com or text (707) 322-2393.

Looking forward to seeing your family this summer!
