2023 Zoo Camp - sold out
A one-of-a-kind adventure awaits! A full week of Zoo Camp is packed with animal encounters, guided tours, themed classroom lessons, and more. Get ready to embark on an incredible journey for one wild week this summer!
WILDLIFE ACADEMY CLASSES
These classes allow children and adults to explore the wonders of wildlife through unique programs that incorporate live animals, biofacts, and crafts. Please note the age requirements for each class; only those of the appropriate age will be admitted. Only children registered for the class will be permitted. The registration fee includes one child and one adult unless otherwise noted (The Doc Is In, Spotlight: Sea Lions, the Walking Tour, and Parents Night Out are children only). Zoo admission is also included. All classes are held at the Education Complex unless otherwise noted.
Our classes and camps are very popular and sell out quickly. If you are unable to attend a class that you have registered for, please contact us ASAP so we can add someone from our wait list. Refunds will only be issued if the Zoo cancels a class due to low enrollment or another unforeseen circumstance. We are no longer offering credit vouchers for missed classes, but we will accommodate requests to switch sessions when space allows. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Check back regularly for new programs and returning favorites, like Zoo Camp.
