Summer Virtual Camps

Summer Virtual Camps 2020

Although EON can't bring our animal ambassadors to you this summer, we can still share them with you through our new online programs.

Checkout the Summer Camp line up below and register through the accompanying Eventbrite link to secure your child's place today.

A zoom link will be emailed to you for class participation. Also, an email with the supplies and pdf of the class activities, craft templates will be emailed. The pdf does not need to be printed but may be used as a guide for crafts. Basic supplies include: crayons/markers/colored pencils, glue sticks/glue, paper, construction paper, scissors. We are trying for common household items or gathering natural items from outside. There can be several options for materials just depending on what is already handy or easily found.
