    Director's Message

    A Message from Tiffany Machado, Camp Director

    At Reptilia, we believe that camp is more than just a place to have fun. It is an experience that shapes young minds, fosters curiosity, and creates lifelong memories. Through hands-on learning and up-close encounters with incredible reptiles, we aim to inspire the next generation of conservationists, scientists, and animal lovers.

    I still remember my own summer camp experiences. Staying up late around the campfire, making lifelong friends, and feeling that first spark of independence away from home. But what stuck with me the most were the endless summer afternoons spent searching for frogs along the edge of a pond, carefully scooping them up just to get a closer look before letting them hop back into the water. I can still hear the chorus of croaks in the background and feel the excitement of every new discovery. Those moments were not just fun. They were the foundation of my lifelong love for animals.

    Our camps are designed to ignite that same passion for wildlife while helping kids develop confidence, teamwork skills, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Every activity, from interactive lessons to animal care experiences, reinforces our commitment to education, conservation, and adventure.

    We know that when children connect with animals and nature, they develop empathy, responsibility, and a sense of wonder that lasts a lifetime. That is why we take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and unforgettable camp experience. One that leaves kids excited, empowered, and eager to learn more.

    Thank you for being part of the Reptilia family. We cannot wait to welcome your camper to an experience that is wild, educational, and full of adventure.

    Tiffany Machado

    Camp Director, Reptilia Inc.
