Spring Adventures - Zoo Camp Theme: Project Cover Up-Animal Coverings ( Ages 4-5) - Roger Williams Park Zoo & Carousel Village - Providence, RI

Tadpole Academy is a great way to introduce 4 to 5-year-olds to ZooCamp! Tadpole Academy is a full day session that includes stories, songs, crafts, games, encounters with wild animal ambassadors and zoo exploration in a safe, small group of campers each week. Each Tadpole Academy camper will receive a ZooCamp t-shirt (full week registration required) and a chance to feed the goats in Alex and Ani Farmyard. Explore the world of animals through children’s literature! In this week of Tadpole Academy, campers will learn all about the animals that have inspired some of their favorite children’s books.
