Cub Creek Science Camp
Cub Creek Science Camp is the only overnight animal camp in the country with its own zoo (USDA licensed). We teach kids to understand and appreciate animals through hands on interactions. We also offer more than 100 hands on science activities that encourage and build curiosity guided learning and problem solving skills.

🌿 Open House is Almost Here! 🌿
Join us on April 4th from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. for a fun-filled day at camp — it’s coming up fast, and we can’t wait to see you!
✨ Enjoy:
• Crafts in the art studio
• Angry Birds & slingshots
• Campfire & marshmallow roasting
• Camp tours (every 30 minutes)
• Animal area tours (every 45 minutes)
🐾 Important Update:
Animal areas will be tour-based only this year — no open walk-throughs.
Campers who bring their ambassador bead can lead animal tours independently; all others will join a guided tour.
🦦 Special Announcement!
We’re excited to announce the addition of Ollie and Oph, a frisky pair of Asian small-clawed otters who joined us this fall, and much to our surprise, had two twin babies who will be making their first public appearance. Their eyes have just opened and you’ll be among the first to see them during the tours 💛
🎉 Still thinking about camp?
It’s not too late to register — some sessions still have space! Bring a friend who’s new to camp, and if they sign up, you’ll both receive a $100 referral bonus.
Don’t miss this special day — we hope to see your family there!

A big farewell and heartfelt thank you to Claireesa, who recently wrapped up her position at camp after three years as a year-round staff member, and an incredible 17 years as part of the Cub Creek community!
Over the years, Claireesa has been a camper, ASIT, Photographer, Health Lodge Assistant, Office Manager and Program Director. Her dedication, laughter, and care have touched countless campers and staff along the way.
As she looks forward to welcoming a new addition to her family, we're thrilled for this next exciting chapter in her life. She's not going far, we're sure to see her at camp events for years to come. And in just a few short years, the next generation will be ready to make their own Cub Creek memories!
