Description

Did you know that animals and plants live in communities like us? Communities of animals and plants that share the same place and climate are called biomes. Students will learn about the diversity of animals in the world by learning about a different biome each day – rainforests, deserts, grasslands, forests. Students will study animals unique to each biome that excite their imagination - jaguars, camels, zebras, bears. Utilizing recycled household items alongside natural materials, students will construct representations of animals and the structures of their habitats with each biome. Students will learn how each animal's habitat is adapted to the biome it exists in.

KOSC Summer Camp Registration Basics:

  • Early Bird Tuition is available through May 31. Add $20 when registering after May 31.



  • Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for an additional $20/day. This can be added during initial registration or closer to the camp's start date.



  • Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early and avoid the waiting list.

In case of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, participants will be notified one week in advance and will receive a full refund.
