This is the base camp that equips intrepid young explorers with all the accoutrement needed to conduct backyard safaris. From concealed positions provided by a camouflaged 41" high pop-up shelter, children can observe imaginary beasts or rival naturalists from afar using the included spyglass and periscope. Extending to 12" long, the spyglass uses a 30mm objective lens and manual focus to capture details that leave no doubt as to the ferociousness of a neighbor's tomcat. The periscope extends 45" to enable secret viewing of primitives over fences, around corners, and hedges--its end can even be submerged up to 16" to search for underwater life forms. Both optics are made from sturdy ABS that withstands rigorous play. When children return to camp after a day afield, the shelter's hanging lantern illuminates the campsite using a bright LED, plenty of light for depositing the day's finds in the shelter's six netted cargo pouches. Requires three AAA batteries. Ages 5 and up. Shelter 41" H x 60" W x 32" D.
