Mini Pets (K-2nd) Full Day

Mini Pets: A Menagerie of Mini Pets and Mythical Creatures Calling all animal lovers! In this crafty, hands-on class, campers bring a variety of mini pets — real, imaginary, and even mythical — to life. Each project sparks creativity while exploring habitats, animal adaptations, and the fascinating connections between living things. From cuddly companions to fantastical creatures, campers design, build, and personalize their own miniature menagerie, all while learning through playful experimentation and imaginative storytelling.

Projects include dr. seuss landscapes, creative creature wands, pet wristlets, mini pets and their people, glove monsters, hide and seekers, puppy chow, and funny pet portraits.

Notes Curious Jane does not provide food. Please pack a nut-free, non-perishable lunch and 2–3 snacks each day. Half-day campers only need snacks and do not require a lunch. Each camper receives one camp t-shirt per summer. A second t-shirt can be purchased for $12 and will feature the same design in a different color. This is a great option for campers attending multiple weeks of camp.
