Zoo Camp

Here at Lincoln Children's Zoo, our first priority is the safety and well-being of those we serve. The health of your children is paramount and is at the core of our decision making at all times. In accordance with the current directive health measures, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the first three weeks of summer camp, May 26 through June 12, and provide full refunds to each family. We sincerely thank you for your patience as we navigate this uncharted territory surrounding the COVID-19 health concerns. This is not a decision that we make lightly as we understand the impact this has on families, schedules, and the expectations of your children. These are uncertain times, but what we know for sure is that our commitment to our community has not wavered. We thank you for your continued support as we look to the future with a sense of hope and optimism.

Are all summer camps cancelled?
At this time we are not cancelling all summer camps. Lincoln Children's Zoo is working in partnership with the health department as well as local government officials in the hopes of still offering a camp experience this summer. We will continue to update you on the status of future scheduled camps and will work diligently to provide as much notice as possible, while monitoring this quickly evolving situation.

What if I am not comfortable sending my child at all this summer?
We understand that during this time, not everyone may feel comfortable with the idea of returning to camp. Rest assured that the decisions you make for your family are respected here. Lincoln Children's Zoo will extend a full refund to any family registered for camps after June 15th. Below you will find a form with pathways to cancel your reservation or make a generous donation to the Zoo during this challenging time.

Instead of receiving a refund may I donate my camp funds back to the Zoo?
Yes, the Zoo thanks you for your generous donation. Please click the link below and fill out the form.

Summer Zoo Camps

Registration is currently closed. We will announce any changes via email and social media.

More camps than ever before!

Feed giraffes, roar with tigers, and climb with spider monkeys!
Each day campers go behind-the-scenes, learn from real zookeepers and meet some of their favorite animals. Zoo Camps are led by skilled instructors who will guide your child through interactive learning opportunities and educational activities.

Camps are separated into different age groups, dates, times and topics. Register for a Morning and Afternoon session during the same week to make it a Full Day camp.

Camps may sell out. Early registration is recommended.

The only camp where you can...
