Expedition: Grown Up

Saturday, July 27, 2026 | 8 AM - 2 PM

Whether you loved camp as a kid or always wished you could go, this one’s for the grown-ups. Adults can trade the everyday routine for an all-day Saturday adventure filled with behind-the-scenes experiences, hands-on activities, animal encounters, and plenty of camp-style fun.

Explore the forest from a whole new perspective as you discover the animals that call these ecosystems home, meet fellow nature lovers, and enjoy a full day designed just for adults who still know how to play, learn, and explore.

Fee: Non-Members $100 | FOTAZ Members $80
Includes lunch and a camp shirt.

Ages: 18+
