WellsOn Saturday, September 5, ecologist and photographer Mark Moffett will visit the Fairmont Scottsdale to lead morning and afternoon National Geographic-inspired activities for children ages 5–12 who are staying with their parents at the Fairmont Scottsdale that weekend and who are enrolled in the NG Explorers Camp. There is also an event designed for the whole family on Saturday night! Fees apply for these programs.
One of only a handful of people to earn a Ph.D. under the world’s most respected ecologist, E.O. Wilson, Mark Moffett has written or photographed more than two dozen articles for National Geographic. He is a modern-day explorer with more than a little luck on his side, having accidentally sat on the world’s deadliest snake, battled drug lords with dart guns, and scrambled up a tree to escape bull elephants. For him such risks are worth it, as part of his mission to find stories that make people fall in love with the unexpected: insects, frogs, and other small wonders of the natural world.
PLEASE NOTE: The National Geographic Explorers Camp is available exclusively to kids of overnight guests of the resort. To view the Fairmont Scottsdale’s summer packages and promotions, click here.
