About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Embark on an adventure where Earth's wildlife meets the final frontier! In this camp, students explore the fascinating adaptations of Earth's creatures, from the dry and arid desert to jungles teaming with life. With this for inspiration, they'll turn their gaze to the stars, imagining planets with unique environments. Our 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!

  • Handle a variety of our resident animals!

  • Use nature as an inspiration to design and engineer their own unique animal!
