How do opossums keep their babies safe and warm? What do you call a baby skunk? What type of snake gives birth to live young? Spring is baby season for wildlife and what better way to celebrate than with a Spring Wildlife Camp all about wild babies?!
Join us for an unforgettable week during which campers will meet WildCare’s non-releasable Wildlife Ambassadors, explore Marin’s natural beauty, and nerd-out about all things wildlife. This week of camp is packed full of animal encounters, nature exploration, wildlife-themed games, crafts, and much more!
*Why is Wildlife Camp not being held at WildCare? Due to HPAI, WildCare’s center is closed to the public. HPAI is a new strain of avian flu that is not a health concern for humans, but can be deadly to many types of birds and can be brought in to our center on shoes and clothing, putting WildCare’s Wildlife Ambassador birds and hospital patients at risk.
WildCare’s Spring Camp will be held at the Short School Campus just around the corner from WildCare at 35 Marin St, San Rafael.
Camp will be held at Short School on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Field trips will be at Blackie’s Pasture in Tiburon on Tuesday, and Miwok Meadows in China Camp State Park on Thursday. You will be responsible for picking up and dropping off your camper at the field trip sites.

GET STARTEDSession 1A (morning) Growing Up Wild

|
Growing up in the wild can be a tricky task! Examine the fascinating ways different animals raise their young, the interesting adaptations baby animals have to survive in the wild and simple ways we can help to keep them safe from harm. Participants will experience daily visits from WildCare's Wildlife Ambassador Animals. No field trips for this session, however camp will go on short excursions to nearby Gerstle Park. Campers must have attended pre-school, and all campers must be fully potty trained to be enrolled in WildCare’s camps. See Special Considerations for Pre-K campers below. 1A is the morning session, and 1B is the afternoon session. Special Considerations for Pre-K CampersAll campers must be fully potty trained to be enrolled in WildCare's Camps. This means they must be independent in all aspects of using the bathroom as WildCare Camp staff is not permitted to assist campers in any way while in the bathroom. Potty trained campers:
