Spring into the Wild - Kids Spring Break Day Camp

Spring into the Wild this March for our second annual Spring Break Day Camp for kids! Bring your child out to join us for a week of hands-on encounters to learn about 13 different species and conservation. 

Day Camp is from 1pm - 3pm Monday - Friday, March 16th-20th

Come out for a single day for your child to learn about their favorite species or join us for the entire week at a discounted rate. Each day includes a completed take-home activity for your child, a lesson about the animal featured that day, importance of conservation and an enrichment activity for the animals. 

This week long camp is for kids ages 4-14. There is no true viewing area and camp is for kids only. Please limit bringing non-participating siblings to only newborns and only one adult per family to reserve space. 

Parents will not get to participate in animal encounters during kids camp. We encourage you to attend a family-friendly event or book a private tour for a family inclusive visit. Our volunteers and staff will happily take photos of the camp participants and we will share a Google Drive folder at the end of the week for you to save memories.
