Camp General Information

Camp at Audubon Zoo is for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade.

During the morning we will take advantage of the cooler temperatures and participate in more outdoor activities such as hiking through the zoo and playing at Monkey Hill.  In the afternoons we will spend more time participating in indoor activities.
Due to the amount of campers and the complexity of group scheduling we cannot process requests for children to be placed in same groups.  Campers are placed in groups based on birthdates.

  • Snacks are provided for all campers.
  • All campers must bring a bag lunch that does not need refrigeration or heating.
  • Children should not bring money, valuables or toys, unless specified by the camp counselor.
  • All campers must bring a water bottle each day of camp.
  • Campers are provided one t-shirt per week of camp purchased. 
    Additional t-shirts can be purchased at the Open House or on the Monday of each camp week.
  • Closed-toed shoes are required.
  • Camper contact with animals is limited and supervised.
  • Summer Camp Open House is May 30, 10am-12pm
