Fota Wildlife Park Summer Camps
Fota Wildlife Park Summer Camps 2010
Fota Wildlife Park is set on 70 acres right next door to us here at the resort. We both share the scenic Fota Island in the heart of Cork Harbour. We are located only 15 minutes from Cork City (top 10 in the best cities to visit in the Lonely Planet guide's 'Best in Travel 2010') and 5 minutes from each other.
Fota Island Wildlife Park is not like an ordinary zoo; here you can come face to face with free roaming animals & birds from all parts of the world. So whether it's a kangaroo that hops in front of you or a ring tailed lemur which jumps down from a tree, each visit is sure to bring its own fantastic memories.
Fota Wildlife Park's Summer Camps promise to provide a unique and unforgettable time for all! Camps are taking place over a five week period during the months of July and August.
Fota Wildlife Park's education department has been providing summer camps since 1995. Since their establishment, attendance figures have grown to over 450 participants over a five week period, making it one of the most popular summer camps in the Munster area! Our Summer Camps have been developed with the aim of engendering a respect for the natural world in children of all ages, this is achieved by taking a "play" approach to learning with the aim of enthusing and encouraging an interest in nature and its many wonders. Through years of valuable experience and programme revision, we have carefully put together a selection of activities which address each participants' requirements and interests. Activities range from arts and crafts to sports and environmental activities. All of the activities on offer are based around the theme of the natural world. Participants are segregated based on age groups and the activities on offer are age specific.
Part of the Summer Camp's goal includes collaborating with local organisations and companies to promote and encourage environmental awareness. The environmental Unit of Cork County Council has kindly sponsored a series of events including "Friday is environmental funday".
