I know it's still a few weeks out but summer break will soon be upon us. That means the kids will be home driving you nuts. What if there was something fun and educational for them to do during the day? Well, there is and it's at the Abilene Zoo. They have their annual summer camp classes coming up with lots of fun in store.

The classes are for pre-schoolers up to 5th grade. Classes cover learning about animals (for the little ones), learning how the zoo works, learning about animals that hunt, how animals disguise themselves, Texas animals, and more. The classes are week long, usually from 9-2:30 pm and there are a variety of subjects to choose from in each age group. There is also after camp care until 5:15pm for a few extra dollars. It sounds like fun but is educational at the same time (but you don't have to tell them they will be "learning").
