Twilight Camp
Have you ever wondered why a giraffe’s neck so long? Did you know that one of the elephant’s closest relatives is the size of a football? What evidence does DNA provide us about animal ancestry and where do humans fit in?

These are just a few questions that are answered by our new and exciting Twilight Night Camp. This program is specifically designed to meet the Arizona state science standards, and will focus on the topics of evolution and adaptation. Geared towards high school students, this is the first Night Camp specially designed for secondary education.

Campers will learn more about the exciting topic of evolution through guided nighttime tours, up-close interactions with animals, hands-on activities, and multimedia presentations. Covering topics from adaptations of species and how these changes can lead to the formation of new species.
