Kits and Cubs v2 01 2

Kits and Cubs is an early childhood learning program that is designed specifically for our youngest animal lovers! These programs are loaded with hands-on, interactive learning which will encourage your child to explore the natural world and discover new animal friends.

Each date is uniquely themed, from learning how to be a junior zookeeper to going on a jungle journey, and includes activities, crafts, story time, and animal encounters!

In 2024, we will have three sessions of Kits & Cubs.

Sessions One and Two will run every other week, starting August 8th and going through November 21st, 2024. Session One is Thursdays from 10:45-11:45 am. Session Two is Thursdays from 1:45 - 2:45 pm.

Session Three will run alternate weeks from sessions one and two, and will start August 14th and go through November 27th, 2024. Session Three is Wednesdays from 10:00 - 11:00 am.

All 3 sessions are open to children ages 2 - 5.

There will be no Kits and Cubs the week of October 14th due to fall break.
