Camp Croods at La Brea Tar Pits to celebrate the Home Release of The Croods: A New Age

We attended the media preview to facilitate this post

Camp Croods at La Brea Tar Pits is an interactive program full of hands-on activities and scientific investigation to explore the Ice Age and fate of saber-toothed cats. You can meet a real-life paleontologist, participate in DIY art projects, explore virtual tar pits discoveries and experience drawing demonstrations that bring your favorite prehistoric Croods characters to life with Dreamworks animators.

What is Camp Croods?

Camp Croods is inspired by The Croods: A New Age . The two separate interactive programs will feature hands-on activities and scientific investigation to explore the Ice Age, human origins and fate of saber-toothed cats.  Families will have the chance to meet real-life paleontologists and archaeologists, participate in DIY art projects, explore virtual tar pits (La Brea Tar Pits camp), take a virtual tour of the Human Origins exhibition (NMNH camp) and experience drawing demonstrations that bring the fan favorite prehistoric Croods characters to life.

ABOUT THE CROODS: A NEW AGE

The first prehistoric family is ready for another rocking adventure! The Croods have survived fanged beasts, natural disasters, and even young love, but now they must face their biggest challenge yet: another family! In search of a new home, the Croods discover a walled-in paradise created by the sophisticated Betterman family (emphasis on the “better”). As they try to coexist, the differences between the two families escalate into a full-blown feud, but when a new threat forces both families to embark on an epic adventure, they must all learn to work together…or they’ll all go extinct! Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Clarke Duke, Cloris Leachman, Leslie Mann, Peter Dinklage and Kelly Marie Tran star in this hilarious animated comedy for the whole family!
