Summer Camp

In River Otters, campers spend the day tracking a grizzly bear, traveling through the forests of Borneo and discovering the wild in our very own backyard. Each curriculum has a theme which will develop throughout the week with zoo exploration, activities, games, big body play and empathy building opportunities. Curricula align with age-appropriate learning and development standards with an emphasis on both a camper’s development as a scientist and peer collaboration.

Camp Scholarships

To support accessibility for families with financial barriers, we offer both partial and full scholarships. These scholarships can also apply to extended care registrations.

During the registration process, you will select that you are applying for a scholarship and complete the prompted questions. This will reserve your program selection without requiring immediate payment of any fees while staff review your scholarship request.
Staff will review scholarship requests bi-weekly and award, until funds are exhausted. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at camps@zoo.org if you have any questions. We are happy to walk you through this process.
