## About

A school-break mini camp at Reeves-Reed Arboretum all about animal homes. Children explore how mammals, fish, insects and birds each have a unique habitat, and learn where their hideaways are found and how they are built, whether a den, a nest or a hive. The day ends with a craft inspired by what campers have learned. It suits curious five- to ten-year-olds who love animals. Registration is required.
