Zoo camps are educational and encourage active learning through games, crafts, age-appropriate explorations, and special encounters with a variety of their resident animals. Rich in STEM-based explorations, these camps engage the natural curiosity of a child and allow ample opportunity to practice critical emerging science skills. Learning has never been so much FUN!
