Registration Now Open!

(January 3, 2012) – Kids can sign up for a wild time of fun at Creative Discovery Museum’s “Animal Safari” Spring Break Camp. Activities are structured loosely around the “Animal Safari” theme and will include “traveling” to various “countries” to meet different animals. This camp for Kindergarten through 5th graders gives children the opportunity to prepare animal snacks, make animal music, and create animal masks and animal sculptures.

Campers will spend time in the Museum before it opens and interact with our experienced staff as they participate in fun-filled themed activities.  A special field trip to Chattanooga Zoo will highlight the week. 

Camp activities include:

  • Cooking fun and healthy recipes in the Culinary Corner
  • Dressing like a favorite animal
  • Arts and crafts projects
  • Science experiments
  • Learning about endangered animals
  • Lots of Museum exploration


Reservations are required for this program and payment is due upon registration. Fees for the program are $160 for members and $195 for nonmembers. Visit www.cdmfun.org for more information or call Nancy at (423) 648-6045 or Beth at (423) 648-6040 to register.
