Summer Camp Outreach Programs for your Campers!

Would your campers like a more exotic look at the animals we live with? Creepy Critters programs can give them just that! We will bring live reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods to your camp. We have animals from right here in Georgia as well as from all over the world. Enhance your camp’s science value by bringing one or more of our educational programs for the enjoyment of everyone there. Our goal is to educate kids and adults about this fascinating portion of the world around them.

Creepy Critters, the educational branch of the Georgia Reptile and Amphibian Rescue Effort, provides programs specifically designed to exceed Georgia State Quality Core Curriculum requirements for science. Creepy Critters programs are tailored for each grade level, and cover topics from general to species specific. We bring the animals to your camp, thus eliminating the hassles of scheduling field trips as well as reducing your costs. You can use our existing programs or work with our staff to develop a program tailored to your needs. If you have any questions or specific animal requests, please do not hesitate to let us know.

We offer several program styles to choose from. Programs can last 30 minutes for Pre-k and Kindergarten, or an hour for kids above 5 years, and you can add additional programs on the same day. We can work with any size group. Please see our listings for classroom programs and Preschool programs for details on the format of each type of program.


Program cost

30 minute programs:

Initial cost is $135.00 for a 30 minute program. A second 30 minute program will cost an additional $55 (this brings the cost equal to one - 1 hour program, provided that the programs are back to back. If there is a delay between programs times, additional costs may apply.) Additional programs may be added for the same location on the same day if desired for an additional $110.00 per program.

Hour long programs:

Initial cost is $190.00 for a 1 hour program. Additional programs may be added for the same location on the same day if desired for an additional $110.00 per program.

Mileage charges:

There will be a mileage fee for programs beyond 40 miles from our facility. This fee is currently $0.50 per mile, with a maximum mileage charge of $100.00.

Other charges:

Any programs with a starting time between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm weeknights and more than 15 miles from our facility may be charged an additional $25.00 due to the extra time necessary to travel anywhere in Atlanta during rush hour traffic. (for example, to arrive on time for a 5:00 pm party in Marietta, we must leave by 3:30 and will likely not arrive back at the facility before 7:30 pm)
