What Parents Need to Know

About Adventure Camp

Parents need to know that this reality series gives kids an exciting and informative look at a variety of animal species. Viewers get to live vicariously through the eight young show participants as they experience close encounters with sea mammals, reptiles, and more -- and learn the responsibilities involved in caring for such animals. Kids who are squeamish about reptiles and other wild creatures may not enjoy all the encounters.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the various animals featured in each episode and how the camp participants handled each task or encounter. How did the kids react during their animal encounters? What was impressive about the way they handled their tasks or challenges? Who do you think showed the most maturity and responsibility during the tasks? Do you think you'd like getting up close and personal with alligators and whales? What animals would you for sure not want to see up close? Why?
