OWC is one of only a handful of wildlife centers in the nation that offers children the unique opportunity to interact with wild animals. These are fun-filled, action-packed weeks at a working wildlife center. Campers take a hands-on role in learning about Ohio’s native wildlife, including the care and husbandry of our resident animals, hikes, biosurveys, nest box monitoring and other nature conservation activities.

Get a little WILD this summer!

OWLETS Preschool Half-Day Camp, Ages 4-6

Owlets
Owlets preschoolers enjoy 3 half-days of hands-on immersion in nature through hikes, games, stories and the opportunity to learn how to feed and care for the resident wild animals at OWC, such as small turtles, squirrels, birds, opossums and rabbits. Fifteen children in each session will be led through the activities by three preschool teachers and wildlife day camp counselors in activities that introduce them to up-close encounters with nature in woodland, aquatic and meadow habitats on our 20-acre facility. A nutritious snack is provided each day.
