·CAMP COMO
FALL/WINTER 2009

Como’s camps focus on expanding each child’s appreciation for the natural world while meeting zookeepers and gardeners, having “behind the scenes” experiences and meeting Como’s plant and animal ambassadors up-close!

A supervised lunch period is available for “all-day” campers. These campers should bring a bag lunch or box lunches are also available.
Boxed lunches are $6.00 per boxed lunch.

Extended care sessions are available prior to the start of a morning camp and/or at the end of an afternoon camp. Extended care fees are $7.00 per session.

Approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of camp, registered campers will receive a camp information/confirmation packet in the mail. More information on extended care and orders for boxed lunches will be included.

A discounted rate is available for members of Como Friends (formerly Como Zoo and Conservatory Society). For more information on Como Friends memberships, call (651) 487-8229 or click here.

PRIMATE PALS
We've pulled the best from our Primate Explorers and Monkeying Around camps to create a day filled with some serious "monkey business" fun! "Hang out" with your primate pals as we meet a primate zookeeper, observe the primates at feeding time, "go bananas" while eating primate snacks, and play some silly monkey games. This camp is sure to leave you hooting, hollering and beating your chest for more!

ZOO GAMES
Spend the day learning all about the zoo animals through fun-tastic games! This action-packed day will have us teaming up like a wolf pack, pouncing with cat-like reflexes, and going the distance like migrating birds. We'll top it all off with a zoo scavenger hunt requiring us to seek-and-find with eagle-eye precision.

WILD THINGS
This wild camp will start here in Minnesota and take you on a wild journey to the frigid North and South Poles, steamy South American rainforests, and end in the blazing desert. At each destination, campers will encounter amazing plants and animals and construct a wild craft to take home. Passports not necessary!

Winter Camps are half-day sessions, but are set up so that all-day adventures are available by taking two camps in the same week within the same age group. A supervised lunch period is available for “all-day” campers. Extended care sessions are available prior to the start of a morning camp and/or at the end of an afternoon camp for a fee.
