Wearing their very own “Cricket Safari” T-shirts provided by Hampton Rec, campers will take daily expeditions to various places including Kid’s Kingdom, the and , and enjoy events such as Arts in the Park. While onsite at Cricket Safari base camp, campers will create wild and crazy crafts and play all sorts of safari games with their fellow explorers.
