Explore Animal Instincts!

$19.50

Super sniffers and extraordinary eyesight – animals have some truly incredible senses! Campers will explore the senses as we learn how animals use theirs to survive and thrive in their habitats. Learning key animal concepts will be fun and exciting as discoveries and games are played! While the curriculum incorporates many different Pennsylvania Learning Standards, it focuses on the key learning area of “Approaches to Learning through Play.” Specifically, students will learn to engage in activities that meet the PA Standard Areas of Social Emotional Learning, Social Studies, and Visual Arts.
