young explorers are invited to bundle up and dive into the remarkable ways animals survive the cold at Camp Zoo: Winter Edition at the Long Island Game Farm, a three-day immersive program celebrating nature, creativity, and discovery.

Led by environmental artist and educator Tony Valderrama, each day spotlights a powerful winter survival strategy—Migration, Hibernation, and Adaptation—and brings it vividly to life through hands-on learning, live animal encounters, creative art projects, and outdoor exploration.

Campers will discover why some animals travel thousands of miles, how others sleep through winter’s harshest months, and the ingenious adaptations that help wildlife thrive in the cold. With Tony’s signature blend of science, storytelling, and art, campers won’t just learn about winter survival—they’ll experience it.

Perfect for curious minds ages 8 and up, Camp Zoo: Winter Edition offers an unforgettable winter adventure that inspires environmental awareness, creativity, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
