Winter Break Camp Basics
These day camp programs are designed for elementary-aged students in 1st through 4th grades. Winter Break Zoo Camp includes educational presentations & conversations, up-close encounters with live animals, games and/or crafts, and time spent outdoors, visiting the zoo animals. The Zoo will provide a morning snack, as well as a tasty hot chocolate afternoon treat. Students should bring a non-refrigerated, non-microwavable lunch, along with a water bottle, and clothing for both indoor and outdoor activities (including boots if snow is on the ground!).
