A Summer of Learning!

Zoo Camp registration will open for members on February 11, 2025. Registration for non-members will open on February 17, 2025. 

Spend a week this summer exploring some of the most amazing creatures on the planet through fun-filled, educational Zoo Camp programs!  The week will be packed with animal encounters, exclusive tours, exciting classroom lessons and other fun activities.  Program themes are designed to be fun and engaging for each group. Classes are conducted by experienced teachers and college students, each of whom are current with the following clearances: PA State Police Criminal Background Check, PA Child Abuse History (Childline) and FBI Criminal Background Check.

Full-day campers are responsible for bringing their own lunches or pre-ordering boxed lunches Monday-Thursday.  A pizza lunch is provided by the Zoo on Friday.

The Zoo cannot be responsible for, or dispense, any medications to campers.

Campers should register for one full week of camp only.  Campers may attend Zoo Crew, Marine Biology, or Vet Camp in addition to one full week of Zoo Camp.

For your convenience, we offer an extended care program available before and after Zoo Camp on select weeks: June 16-20, July 7-11, and August 4-8.  Morning Extended Care is available from 7:45-9 a.m. Afternoon Extended care is available from 4-5:15 p.m. There is a $50 fee for each Monday-Friday AM or PM session.

Campership Application

This year we’re offering the Campership program once again, making Zoo Camp more accessible to campers who otherwise could not afford to attend. This camp scholarship will cover the cost of camp registration, before and after camp care, a $50 transportation stipend for the camper’s legal guardian, and daily lunch for eligible campers.
