Overview
The wonderful Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley offers lively camps where children explore wildlife conservation and nature.
Camps for preschool to 12th graders follow zoo exhibit themes. Preschool campers can attend single-day (2.5 hours) or one-week camps (3 hours/per day). There are themes like Alice the Camel and Leaping Lizards.
Students entering first and second grade can attend sessions with themes like Farm Explorers, Dinosaurs Rule, and Ocean Odyssey. Third to twelfth-grade students can join week-long full-day programs with themes geared towards their specific age groups.
All zoo campers should bring a water bottle, snacks, and lunch if they’re staying the entire day. The Minnesota Zoo also has virtual tours for K-6 kids for those who can’t make it in person.
