Summer Zoo Camps
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.
