British Columbia supports an incredible diversity of animals, and some of them are wonderfully weird. This camp will take a look at some of the stranger ones, exploring why they are the way they are. Using the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition as a jumping-off point, campers will even construct their own bizarre beast.
The camp will be hands-on in the museum galleries, in the natural history collection and out in nature, while we all embrace our inner weirdness.
