Zoo Camp

Are you up for a wild adventure?

Join us to discover the daily responsibilities of caring for the zoo’s animals. Campers will interact with Zookeepers and resident animals to learn about animal diets, enrichment, and more.

There are summer sessions available for kids aged 7-11 in June and July. The first two sessions are from June 9-12 and June 16-19. Older kids (12-15 years old) can join the third session from July 7-10. The fourth is from July 14-17. All sessions start at 9:30 am and end at 1:00 pm.

The cost of registration for each camper is $225. This fee covers all activities, necessary supplies, one daily snack, a reusable water bottle, a backpack, a notebook, a Zoo Camp t-shirt, and more. Registration closes May 11.
