    The gifts are all unwrapped and the relatives have all gone home. How
    does a parent keep their kids occupied during that week of vacation
    between Christmas and New Year's? Bring them to Cleveland Metroparks
    Zoo's Winter Break Camp!



    Winter Break Camp is a week of
    hands-on, fun activities for children ages 5-10 focusing on how active
    the Zoo's animals are in winter and how the Zoo cares for them
    year-round. Winter Break Camp includes Zoo exhibit tours, Get-Close
    encounters with small animals, arts and crafts, and conservation-themed
    games and stories.



    Kids will meet in the Jungle Lab
    classroom at The RainForest before setting off to discover the Zoo.
    Campers will explore the lives, habitats and conservation of animals
    around the world. The four-day camp runs from Monday, December 29
    through Friday, January 2 (no camp on January 1) with half-day (9 a.m.
    to 12:30 p.m.) and full-day (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) sessions available.
    Half-day registration is $110 per child and full-day registration is
    $155 per child. Cleveland Zoological Society members receive a discount,
    with half-day registration costing $95 per child and full-day costing
    $135 per child.



    �The best way to fend off the dreaded,
    �I'm bored,' is to keep your kids active and engaged over their days off
    from school,� said Zoo Director of Conservation Education Vicki
    Searles. �And what could be more fun than spending winter break
    exploring the Zoo and seeing animals up close?�
