Winter Safari Camp

Back to All Safari Camp

When school is out, Camp is in! 

We are here to engage and excite your young learners ages 5-11 during Winter 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 opens July 28. 

Parents/Guardians: Please carefully review the Camp Information Packet (PDF) and Medication Administration Authorization Packet (PDF) after registering your child for Camp. 

Sign up for other seasonal Safari Camps throughout the year here.
