Spring Break Safari Camp
When school is out, Camp is in!
We are here to engage and excite your young learners ages 5-11 during Spring Break.
Safari Camp is a great opportunity to engage young explorers in learning about the wild world around them and beginning their journey of conservation stewardship. Through Zoo explorations, up-close animal encounters, STEAM-based projects, hands-on science activities, environmental games and more, campers learn about attainable strategies and goals to combat environmental issues and are charged with finding simple ways that they can make a difference.
Registration for Spring Break Safari Camp will open in October 2025. Please check back.
Parents/Guardians: Please carefully review the Camp Information Packet (PDF) and Medication Administration Authorization Packet (PDF) when registering your child for Camp.
Sign up for other seasonal Safari Camps throughout the year here.

THEMES:
Each week campers embark on a different Zoo expedition, exploring wildlife and wild places. Young explorers will be immersed in hands-on, minds-on learning while having fun!
April 6-10 (5 days)
Predator-Prey, or Are They?: Predators and Prey. Two roles that convey the critical relationship between an animal that eats, and an animal that gets eaten. This week, campers will take a close look at what makes a predator a predator, and what makes a prey a prey. What adaptations does one have that the other lacks? At the end of the week, campers will pull a reverse card on their favorite predator-prey relationship. What happens when an owl is hunted by a mouse? A tiger by a deer? Explore with us as we re-imagine some of our favorite, wild, wildlife!
Campers should provide their own snacks, lunches, and water bottles.
