Wild Things Adventure

Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

This wild and energetic animal-lovers experience delights campers through learning dance routines inspired by the myriad of movements found in nature – from the swift dash of the cheetah to the slooooow crawl of a sloth, and the fluttering of butterflies to the bombastic stomp of elephants.

The rumpus continues with craft sessions, designing masks that channel their inner wild spirit, making instruments, and even a little improvisation.

Through fun and play, campers build on their gross and fine motor skills and gain confidence as they get comfortable performing with each other.

Each day promises a whirlwind of joy and a parade of unforgettable moments. Your Wild Things will have a roaring good time in this hands-on experience.

Our sea explorers will also engage in creative crafts, designing their own shimmering mermaid or scaly fishtails, crafting accessories inspired by what lies 'under the sea', and guided pretend-play activities transforming these land dwellers to creatures of the deep!
