"[My son] came home and spoke non-stop about the amazing day he had at camp yesterday. I was floored by the amount of facts he could rattle off about elephants, parakeets, and all the other animals he learned about. You and your staff run an amazing program!"                                                                - Jill Petkau (parent of 2012 summer camp attendee)
