ZooCamps

Welcome! Whether you’ve been to ZooCamp before or you’re joining us for the first time, we’re so excited to share our love of exploring and learning at our in-person school break and summer camps!

ZooCamp is a space where life is celebrated and nurtured. We respect the diversity of life we find reflected in our people, our plants, and our animals. Camp is a physically and emotionally safe environment in which campers and staff alike develop and practice our skills of communication, compassion, teamwork, and scientific thinking. Through hands-on exploration, play, and community building campers will deepen their connections to themselves, each other, and our natural world.
