Starr Ranch Sanctuary Summer Camps
Ages 8 - 13

During these summer camps (June-July) kids join the Starr Ranch scientific team to experience how biologists study wild animals and their habitats. Kids discover how much fun wildlife research can be as we gradually take them through the scientific process during three progressive week-long sessions. SRJB I kids explore native ecosystems and have fun with some of the techniques scientists use to study wildlife. In SRJB II, children participate in simulations of ecological research on animals and habitats as they identify simple research questions, learn techniques for answering questions, and collect data. SRJB III is an advanced program offered for older children ages 10 - 13, who camp at the Ranch and do a week long study of the animals and ecosystems introduced in SRJB II.
