Parents can choose from a variety of half-day, single-day, weeklong and overnight sessions geared toward specific age groups.  Half-day and single-day programs, or morning and afternoon weeklong programs, can be paired for a week’s worth of camps. 

Prices for the Summer Safari camp sessions range from $30 to $225 for Detroit Zoological Society members and $35 to $235 for non-members.

Busy parents can drop daytime campers off early or pick them up late and let them enjoy before- and after-camp activities.  Early Bird drop-off starts at 7:30 a.m. and Late Owl pick-up runs until 6 p.m.  Costs range from $5 for a single session to $50 for Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons.
