Wild Weeks—Z.S.I: Yuckology Zoo Camps at Riverbanks

Starting on Monday, June 8, and Monday, June 22, running through the end of both weeks respectively, Riverbanks Zoo will host its Z.S.I: Yuckology Zoo Camps for kids ages 10 to 12. Campers will learn some of the weird, creepy and completely “yucky” things that many animals do. Owls regurgitate their food, vampire bats drink blood and koala moms feed their joeys poop. Campers will enjoy a week filled with investigation and fun education learning how being gross can be good for survival. The Zoo Camps will also include hands-on activities, animal encounters, behind-the-scenes tours, games, and arts and crafts. Each child will receive one complimentary T-shirt the first day of camp. Extended stay and play morning options are available for an additional fee.

Cost: $185, members; $255, general public. Times: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Location: Riverbanks Zoo, 500 Wildlife Pkwy., Columbia. For more information, call 803-779-8717 or visit Riverbanks.org.
