Groups go on hikes through the zoo to see how their favorite animals adapt to winter, then head indoors for STEAM activities that mix science, technology, engineering, art and math. Children do not handle or clean up after animals. Campers spend time both outdoors and indoors, so they should come dressed for the weather; in severe weather everyone moves inside. Children register for the grade they are currently in, and they must be willing to enter the zoo with their instructors each morning without their caregiver. One purchase covers both days. Early Bird care from 7:30 a.m. and Late Owl care until 5:30 p.m. can be added for working parents but have limited space and separate registration. Camp purchases are not refundable. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Thanksgiving Craft Night — Campbell Branch, Detroit Public Library](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/thanksgiving-craft-night-campbell-branch-detroit-public-library--listing-2668db305b70fb05c7604731) — Wed, Nov 18 · 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM · Detroit Public Library – Campbell Branch · All ages · checked Oct 30.
