Campers will be split into groups based on the following ages: 6-7, 8-9, 10-12. Activities and interactions are tailored to be age-appropriate for your camper.

Every topic includes opportunities to engage directly with keepers and Zoo staff, meet animals up close, participate in special experiences not offered to the public, and ride the carousel and train!
