Campers get unparalleled hands-on interaction with a wide variety of reptiles at the largest reptile sanctuary in the US.
The Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary Summer Camp offers an immersive experience where children engage directly with native and exotic reptiles. Campers learn about conservation, habitats, adaptations, and rehabilitation through a variety of hands-on activities and educational programs. Daily activities integrate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) concepts, often hidden within animal interactions, games, and animal care tasks like feeding and cleaning enclosures. Campers will have opportunities to touch and hold non-venomous reptiles, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for these animals. The camp aims to build confidence and provide a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for young animal enthusiasts.
A typical day includes hands-on interactions with various reptiles, STEAM-oriented activities and games, and assisting with animal care such as feeding and cleaning enclosures.
This camp is ideal for children aged 5-14 who have a strong interest in reptiles and desire a hands-on learning experience focused on animal care and conservation.
