DAY OFF CAMP: Creepy Crawlies & Cryptids

NEW EXPANDED SERIES FOR 2025-2026!

Due to popular demand, Irvine is pleased to expand its Day Off Camp series to include 11 dates for the 2025/26 year.

Your child will love spending their day off from school with Irvine’s award-winning environmental educators for a day of exploration and outdoor activity! Days are filled with animal encounters, science experiments, hiking, nature crafts and more! Day Off Camps are for children age 5-12.
Theme: Creepy Crawlies & Cryptids- Humans have a long history of folklore and stories around the creatures that go bump in the night. Sometimes inspired by true encounters with yet to be discovered animals such as Okapis, Gorillas, giant squids and Komodo Dragons to name a few. Others such as Spiders, Scorpions, Bats and Rats tend to be seen in a negative light just because of what they look like. Participants will get time to learn more about these creepy crawlies and misunderstood “cryptids” and create our very own creatures of the night. We will end the day by sharing their stories around a campfire!
Instructors: Irvine’s Environmental Educators
Time: 9:00AM-4:00PM
Cost: $110 (member discounts apply- Pacesetter level and above)
