Creature Camps provide a fun, eduZOOcational way for your student(s) to spend a day off from school! These drop-off, day-camp programs are designed for elementary-aged students in 1st through 4th grades.
Creature Camp Basics
Creature Camps include educational presentations & conversations, up-close encounters with live animals, hands-on games and/or crafts, and time spent outdoors, visiting the zoo animals. The Zoo provides a morning snack, as well as an afternoon treat, such as hot chocolate and/or granola bars. Students should bring a non-refrigerated, non-microwavable lunch, along with a water bottle and clothing for both indoor and outdoor activities (including boots/snow pants when snow is on the ground!).
