Overview
Zoo camp is designed for the animal enthusiast in your family! While animals are a big focus of our camp programs, we strive for a balance between animals and nature while encouraging the other interests, passions and activities your child might have. Whether your child's favorite animal is a tiger, they love to play sports, sing or enjoy art, there is something for them at Zoo camp and we are excited to explore and learn along with them!
Campers in grades K-12 can join us for day camps full of Zoo favorites and new adventures! All camps incorporate animal trail exploration, games, art, WILD hands-on activities and up-close animal encounters. Register campers for the grade they are entering in the fall of 2026. For example, if they are currently in 1st grade for the '25-'26 year, they will register for a 2nd - 3rd grade program ('26 - '27 year).
Camps run from 9 am to 3 pm each day, with before-care available starting at 7:30 am and after-care available until 5:30 pm for an extra fee.
