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. 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. Wildcare Park is now offering camp opportunities at our new Spanish Lake location. Through hands-on projects, outdoor challenges, and behind-the-scenes tours, campers in 9th & 10th grade will discover how STEAM shapes the future of conservation. Wildcare Park camps are offered Monday through Friday. Adult Camp is a brand new opportunity for adults to join our Zoo Educators on a fun-filled, two-day, adults-only camp as you discover how the Zoo cares for animals here and around the world, as well as actions you can take at home. Adult Camp is not supported by our scholarship program. Financial scholarships are available for under-resourced families. The scholarship application will be available on our website in February. 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 1st, and then review and award them in mid-April.
