All animals are specially adapted to live in their unique habitat. Their mouths, feet, legs, and even eyes are all designed to give them the best advantage. In Creature Creators, inquisitive campers will learn about different habitats and adaptations. Then, they'll climb into the skin of an animal and design a unique new creature that can prowl, swim, or fly through any environment!

Guided Activities

  • Handle a variety of our resident animals!
  • Discover how adaptations help animals survive in their habitats.
  • Use nature as an inspiration to design and engineer their own unique animal!
