Cub Creek Science Camp Review 5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed by: Stacy Johnson, 2009-10-20 05:44:56 (Modified: 2009-10-20 00:00:00)

This camp is amazing. It offers something for everyone. My daughter is interested in becoming a vet and this camp allowed her to explore the many areas of caring for animals including watching surgeries and learning how to do stitches and shots. My daughter had the absolute best time at this camp and plans to attend again next year.
