No camp prep. No supply hunting. No screen time required.

Choose Your Animal Camp

Pick the 3-animal bundle that fits the way your child loves to learn — clever problem-solvers, extreme animal athletes, or survival experts with wild defenses.

We Ship It to Your Door

Each camp bundle includes three complete animal science boxes, packed with reading, STEM, art, recipes, posters, collectibles, and animal ambassadors. Free U.S. shipping included.

Explore One Animal at a Time

Open a box, meet the animal, read the science, build the project, create the art, try the recipe, and hang the anatomy poster. Everything is designed to feel open-and-go.

Stretch It Your Way

Use one animal per week, spread the activities across slower summer days, or pull the boxes back out whenever curiosity strikes. No lesson planning required.

Real zoology

This isn't busywork. It's the real thing.

Kids learn how cheetahs accelerate, how dolphins echolocate, why skunks spray, how wolves cooperate, and how sea turtles navigate across oceans. Every box is built with zoology educators and animal experts.

Common questions

Before you choose your camp.

Is this a subscription?

No. Summer Camp Bundles are one-time purchases. Buy the bundle, get the three boxes shipped, and that's it. No auto-renew, no recurring charges.

What age is this for?

Designed for curious kids ages 5–12. Younger kids will love the plush animal ambassadors and read-aloud books; older kids dig into the STEM projects and the deeper zoology.

How many boxes come in one bundle?

Each bundle includes 3 complete animal science boxes, one for each featured animal. Every box ships with the same 9 learning layers, themed to that animal.

How long does one bundle last?

Many families use one animal per week, but each box can be stretched across multiple days or pulled back out throughout the summer. It's open-ended on purpose.

Do I need to buy supplies?

Most activities are open-and-go straight out of the box. Animal recipes may call for a few basic grocery ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Can siblings share?

Yes. One bundle works beautifully for family learning. Siblings can read together, build together, cook together, and trade off who does what.

Ready to make the rest of summer easier?

Choose your camp.

Pick one 3-box camp bundle for weeks of screen-free animal science, or grab all three for the full summer experience. The sooner it ships, the sooner your kid has something better than another screen.
