STATESVILLE, N.C. (QC Life) - An Iredell County farm is opening its gates to elementary-aged students this winter for Winter Break Critter Camp.
Put on by Rescue Ranch, the camp is open grades K-5, and will be open from Dec. 27-29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
The camps involve daily interaction with animals, games, crafts and STEM activities. Campers will learn how to care for animals, provide enrichment and to promote humane animal care.
Campers will also have access to the Rescue Ranch’s walking trails, as well as the 10,000-square foot Earnhardt Family Playground.
The ranch has more than 80 permanent animal residents, with creatures ranging from turkeys to miniature horses to potbellied pigs, rabbits, snakes and more.
