Whether your favorite continent is Africa or Australia, we have a program for you. In this one-of-a-kind overnight experience, you can choose the continent that your students will explore. We will take a close look at the ecology of your continent. Participants will interact with animals, view a movie, complete a biofact challenge, play an interactive game and experience a night hike, all while focusing on animals, their challenges and adaptations. Students will be able to identify animals from various countries and will begin to understand what life is like, the climate, the terrain, the culture, and more on their chosen continent. Each program will have a WildCare Institute highlighted.
