During this one-week camp, your camper will investigate all things creepy and crawly. From interesting insects to slithering snakes, campers will be following the paths to some of Fenner’s creepy and cool critters.

It’s time to make a splash down by the pond. Your camper will spend time searching for critters that live in the water, getting up close and personal with the turtles, frogs, and fish that call Fenner home.
