Blast off on a galactic adventure where Earth's wildlife meets the final frontier! In Cosmic Critters, campers explore the fascinating adaptations of Earth's creatures.

These biological engineers will then design their own extraordinary animals capable of thriving in these off-world ecosystems. It's a blend of biology, creativity, and astrological wonder—a cosmic quest for the ultimate space survivor!
