🐾 Wild Pathways Discovery Camp

Learn Together. Explore Together. Experience the Wild.

Looking for a meaningful summer experience you can share?

At Cat Tales Wildlife Center, our Wild Pathways Discovery Camp is designed for children and their supervising adult to learn side-by-side.

This isn’t drop-off childcare.
This is shared discovery.
