Kids Camps
Kids are you interested in nature? Have you ever wondered why a giraffe sleeps standing up or why the cheetah is the fastest land animal. Come to Fota Wildlife Park's Summer and Easter Camps and have all of your questions answered!!
Fota Wildlife Park's Summer and Easter Camps promise to provide a unique and unforgettable time to all! Camps are taking place over a three week period during the months of July and August and a three day period in Easter.
Fota Wildlife Park's education department has been providing summer and easter camps since 1995. Since their establishment, attendance figures have grown to over 450 participants over a six week period, making them some of the most popular camps in the Munster area! Our Summer and Easter Camps have been developed with the aim of engendering a respect for the natural world in children of all ages, this is achieved by taking a "play" approach to learning with the aim of enthusing and encouraging an interest in nature and its many wonders. Through years of valuable experience and programme revision, we have carefully put together a selection of activities which address each participants' requirements and interests. Activities range from arts and crafts to sports and environmental activities. All of the activities on offer are based around the theme of the natural world. Participants are segregated based on age groups and the activities on offer are age specific.
Part of the Camp's goal includes collaborating with local organisations and companies to promote and encourage environmental awareness. The environmental Unit of Cork County Council has kindly sponsored a series of events including "Friday is environmental funday".
