Cool Critters Camp
June 29 - July 2, 2026
10:00am-3:00pm daily
Entering 1st-3rd grade

Get to know all the incredible critters that live in and around Leavenworth.

There are so many critters waiting to be discovered at Wenatchee River Institute and beyond! Spend a week exploring these creatures, where they live and how they survive in and around the river and along forested trails. Camp includes bug collecting, learning about local animals, and tons of animal games.

Our base cost of this camp is $252 per camper. This includes 20 hours of camp program, supplies, two educators (a ratio of 2 staff to 13 campers), camp support staff, and facilities costs.

WRI is committed to continuing the Pay What You Can structure for camps. Each camp lists the full cost of camp on the registration page. You can use the discount codes below to apply a discount for camp.
