Summer Camp

Week-long day camps are designed to be the most rewarding camp experience of a child’s summer vacation. Meet zookeepers and their animals, learn about wildlife and conservation through up-close and hands-on encounters, and enjoy a wide variety of games, activities and crafts that revolve around the theme for the day! Camps meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with before and after care available for working parents and guardians. Children are divided into age groups: KinderZoo (completed Kindergarten), Primary (completed 1st & 2nd Grades), Middler (completed 3rd, 4th & 5th Grades), and Zookeeper (completed 6th, 7th & 8th Grades). Some age groups are offered every week, while others are only available part of the summer.
