Woodland Park Zoo: Bear Affair and Big Howl for Wolves

Find out what happens when you don't store food properly or leave garbage around your campsite or backyard at the Woodland Park Zoo on Saturday, June 9th. The zookeepers will set up a campsite and you can watch as the grizzly bear brothers tear into it. You can also learn all about how to properly bear-proof your backyard or campsite.

I'm putting this outing on my calendar for sure. We're planning on going camping with the kids this summer so it's probably a good idea to learn about these things. Plus, my husband has an unnatural fear of bears so I kind of want to see him get all nervous watching the bears tear up the campsite. He he!
