Zoo Camp Programs

Zoo camp will immerse your keiki in the vast and unique world of animals. Campers will gain a wealth of knowledge about different animals and the environments in which they live. A different theme is highlighted each session/week and campers learn through hands-on lessons complete with bio-artifacts, interactive activities, crafts and games. Our camps are broken up into three age groups and curriculum is designed to meet national science standards.

Through our Virtual Zoo Adventure Camp, your campers can explore the natural world and engage in closely observing their environment, all while at home! Your campers will learn what it takes to be a field researcher, how their important work is used around the world, in Zoos, and in conservation.
