Hands on Exotics-Â
Bringing Exotic Encounters to Camp
Owner Seth started Hands on Exotics in 2011 as he turned his passion for animals into a full time business. Throughout the past decade, his business has grown into an outreach organization that offers programs including: animal assisted therapy, animal education, and the facilitation of animal actors on film, television and in fashion photography.
Inquiry-Based Learning
Hands on Exotics provides fun, positive hands-on presentations that help educate our campers and dispel myths and fears about animals. They believe that meeting and interacting with animals up-close in person enhances learning and fosters a great respect for wildlife. In this way, Hands on Exotics imparts knowledge on responsible animal care as many exotic animals are obtained as pets without enough understanding of their required care. They also like to discuss wildlife conservation issues and empower individuals to help, whether it be from a ‘backyard conservation’ level to a global scale.
