Saint Louis Zoo

Camp Joey is for our youngest campers, who may be new to a camp experience. Children must be at least five years of age, and entering K-1st grade in the upcoming fall. Camp Joey takes place Monday through Friday, with the exception of one mini-week that is four days in length. Camp KangaZoo is our camp experience for children entering 2nd-6th grade. Camp KangaZoo is typically Monday through Thursday, culminating in an evening event on the final night of Zoo Camp. There is an exception of one mini-week that is three days in length. Teen Camp is a step up from KangaZoo for older campers, also Monday through Thursday, but includes a fun overnight experience at the Zoo on the last night of camp! It is for children entering 7-9th grades. Specialty Camps are topic specific and are a great way for campers to explore targeted interests. The topics vary and different titles are appropriate for different age ranges, but in general specialty camps are offered for 3rd-12th grades. Specialty camp groups are smaller than the other camps, and are offered Monday through Thursday. Financial scholarships are available for under-resourced families. The scholarship application will be available on our website when registration opens in March. Camp spaces are set aside for campers who are awarded scholarships, so if you see that a session is sold out, that does NOT apply to scholarships. We accept scholarship applications until April 15th, and then review and award them in May.
