What will my child do while at camp? The Summer Safari Camp combines tours, songs, games and crafts into a fun opportunity to learn about wildlife, wild places, and the ways that people can help animals. All campers tour a few animal exhibits during each day of camp. Songs are a great way to have a good time in the park, and a fun way to keep the campers together. We play a number of games during camp, too. Crafts help make a connection with the animals seen during the camp and the conservation and animal welfare messages of the zoo. Our younger campers enjoy coloring, and animal masks are big hit. Older campers get the opportunity to work on projects that are a little more complex, such as animal stamp bandannas, miniature biomes or musical didgeridoos.
Do you have an early drop off / late pick up for the camp? Yes we do. Refer to the registration form to enroll your child. Early Bird Drop Off goes from 7:30 am to 9:00 am and Late Owl Pick Up runs from 4 pm until 6:00 pm. Children can not be dropped off earlier than 7:30 am or picked up later than 6:00 pm. Penalty fees apply for tardy pick up. Children do a variety of activities indoors or outside and get snacks (not meals), but do not tour the park or visit habitats during these times.
After I drop off my child, can I come into the zoo before it opens? No; the zoo opens to the public at 10am every day. Unfortunately the zoo is not staffed to welcome you any earlier.
My child is too young for the camp, but will be the appropriate age just a short time after the camp starts. Can s/he come to camp anyways? No; campers must be the appropriate age for the camp at the time the camp starts, no exceptions.
