Critters & Cabernet - Ages 21+ - Salamanders
In-person (Legacy Park) | 2 hour program | First Friday of every month
This is the 21+ version of our popular children's program — Critter Camp. C & C is a casual learning experience in series format, so we focus on a specific topic or group of animals each session.
'Reptiles and Wine — What could go wrong?'
Each Critters and Cabernet session lasts for 2 hours, and includes lessons mixed with live animal demonstrations and handling (if desired). There is, of course, no obligation to hold animals if you do not wish. The sessions occur in our auditorium, on the upper level of Amphibian Foundation.
