Camp Day Descriptions
Monday, December 22: Owl Be Seeing You
We’re celebrating the diversity of owls throughout the Zoo and Park – what a hoot! Campers will start by exploring the Zoo to meet three different owl species up close. Then, we'll venture into the Park's forest on an exciting mission to spot owls in their natural habitat!
Tuesday, December 23: Bison, Bears, and Beyond
Calling all animal lovers! Campers will spend the day adventuring through the Zoo, starting in the Boreal Forest and Grasslands area, all the way to our iconic Journey to Churchill area. Along the way, we'll get up close with incredible animals like grey wolves, snowy owls, mighty bison, and of course, the amazing polar bears.
Monday, December 29: Snowshoeing, Sledding, and Tracking - Oh My!
Let’s have the best snow day ever at Assiniboine Park! Campers will explore the wonders of the Park on snowshoes, downhill on sleds, and trekking on foot! We’ll be hunting for animal tracks, learning about the natural world, and having lots of frosty fun!
Please ensure your camper is dressed for the weather, as we will spend most of the day outside.
Tuesday, December 30: Ring... Ring... The New Year is Calling!
Join us at The Leaf for a global New Year's celebration! We'll travel the world, discovering how different cultures welcome the new year with special plants and traditions. Learn why lucky bamboo brings good fortune in China or why people in Spain eat 12 grapes at midnight for good luck!
