  • Join us for Summer Camp at the San Diego Zoo! In week-long, full-day camps, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., campers enjoy wildlife experiences, exclusive habitat visits, talks with wildlife care specialists and other Zoo team members, art projects, hands-on learning activities, crafts, and games.

    Participants will receive a Summer Camp T-shirt. Campers will need to bring their own lunch, snack, and sunscreen, and wear comfortable shoes for long walks (no flip-flops), clothes that can get dirty, and a hat.

    Choose from two different second grade-level Classic Camp programs:
