We have done camp in Fairfax before, logistically it was not ideal but we made it work, will look into this. Thanks

Burgundy farm in Alexandria has animals but my kids rarely saw them. That was years ago. Might be worth inquiring.

My kid loves animals, seeing them, touching them, feeding and general care. Is there an all day camp local to DC that offers something along this line? Thanks
