Are you ready to make a splash with Shedd Aquarium? This summer, join Wellington the penguin and dive into the world of aquatic animals with Summer Splash Camp: Stay Home Edition

 This week of virtual summer camp will transport your camper to Shedd Aquarium, where they will explore the impressive world of aquatic animals and uncover the adaptations that will make them say “WOW!” Your camper will look nature in the eye as they meet animals up close, explore Shedd Aquarium habitats and participate in hands-on activities, games, crafts and more! Each session is designed to be fully engaging for your camper. Campers will make discoveries, build friendships and have fun! 

 

We look forward to celebrating animals in a whole new way with your camper this summer!
