## About

A three-day Thanksgiving-break day camp at the Oklahoma City Zoo that can be booked one day at a time. Each day pairs animal stories with real zoo animals: Once Upon a Feline (big cats' adaptations, behaviors and hunting skills), Habitat Heroes, and Wonders of the Wetlands. Campers have animal encounters, hands-on activities, crafts, games, storytelling and zoo exploration, split into K–2nd and 3rd–5th grade groups. Drop-off is 8:00–8:30 a.m. and pick-up 4:00–4:30 p.m.; campers bring their own lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks. Camper paperwork must be submitted before attending, separately from enrollment.
