CITY OF BRIDGETON
ANNOUNCES 2014 DATES FOR COHANAZICK SUMMER ZOO CAMP
For every parent who’s
ever heard the summertime refrain of kids everywhere; “there’s nothing to do”
or that they’re bored, the Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton City Park will host Bridgeton’s
annual Summer Zoo Camp beginning July 7th.
With a little something
for everyone, Zoo Camp, with sessions for kids ages 5 through 14, provides each
child with a unique zoo experience that is fun and educational as they learn
about a variety of animals; along with the special characteristics and habitats
of each species. Campers will also enjoy games, crafts, snacks and a
complimentary T-shirt courtesy of the Cohanzick Zoo
According to program
organizers, space for the zoo camp is limited and slots fill up quickly so
those interested in attending, should register sooner rather than later for the
July dates. Registration is $100 ($75 for Cohanzick Zoological Society Members)
and registration forms are available at the zoo office (856) 453-1658 or by
visiting www.cityofbridgeton.com on
the zoo camp page

children ages 5 and 6; will be held July 7th from 8am to 12 noon
with the afternoon (second session) going from 1pm to 5pm.

“Summer Zoo Camp is one of
our more popular programs each year. For younger children, it’s a great
introduction to the world of animals and for older kids; they appreciate
experiencing the animals in an up-close and personal way” said Recreation
Director Melissa Hemple. “With the Splash Park next door, it’s a great way to
make a day of it” Hemple added.
