Thank you for your interest in Dade City's Wild Things Summer Camps. Our mission is to provide a safe, clean, pleasant and caring environment in which
each child may develop his or her physical, social, emotional and intellectual potential at his or her own pace while fostering a respect for animals
through unique zoo interactions.
