Plant Superheroes
Discover the incredible superpowers of plants, come face-to-face with plants that look surprisingly like their favourite insects, and feed a meat-eating plant. Campers will also create their own plant superhero costumes and take home a plant with superpowers.

Wild in the City
Let’s get wild! Learn what types of animals live in our city, and follow their tracks to see how they move through an area without being seen. Campers will discover and mimic the survival techniques of wild urban animals by engaging in fun outdoor games. Participate in dramatized stories about the city’s wildlife, and make birdfeeders to hang in the Wilket Creek ravine. The day will end with a visit from the Toronto Wildlife Centre and an opportunity to meet a few wild friends.
