Camp Scholarships

2026 camp scholarship applications are available as part of the camp registration process. To complete the application, you will need to select “I would like to apply for a scholarship” and complete the online application during registration. Applications will be reviewed on a two-week rolling basis until funds are exhausted.

While our goal is to make our programs accessible for as many campers as possible, we cannot guarantee a scholarship for every applicant.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at camps@zoo.org if you have any questions.

Extended Care Program

The Extended Care program is available to campers in all of our summer camps.  Drop-off and pick-up for Extended Care takes place at the Education Center located between the Rose Garden and the zoo’s South Entrance (entrance to the Hippo Lot is at the intersections of N 50th St and Fremont Ave N).

Morning Extended Care*: 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m., Tuesday – Friday
Afternoon Extended Care: 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., Monday  – Friday  

Cost: $50 for Morning Extended Care*, $100 for Afternoon Extended Care 

*Why is morning Extended Care not offered on Mondays during summer camp? As the first day of the camp week is a busy preparation period for camp staff members, we are unable to accommodate early drop-off of campers on Mondays. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Adding Extended Care

Extended Care options are available during the online registration process but may be added at any time. Pre-registration for Extended Care is encouraged as space is limited.

If you have already registered your child for camp, you can add Extended Care by logging onto your UltraCamp account and editing your reservation.
