Join us for Art Camp at the San Diego Zoo! Art students from beginners to advanced are welcome to participate in Adventures in Art, a full-day—9 a.m. to 3 p.m.—blended camp for students entering grades 4 through 12 in the fall. Artists will create projects inspired by wildlife in a variety of media, and will have special opportunities for private animal experiences. All art supplies are provided.
Choose from three different Adventures in Art camp programs:
3D Animal Art
From layering, shaping, carving, and coiling, artists learn the essential skills for 3D art. Artists will be sure to enjoy this hands-on week of creating with inspirations from Zoo wildlife. Dates: June 21–25, July 12–16, or August 2–6.
Wild Animals in Wild Colors
Artists will learn techniques to create works of art in color. Learn how to use colored pencils, watercolor, oil pastels, and more like an expert. Artists will see a variety of wildlife, large and small. Dates: June 28–July 2, July 19–23, or August 9–13.
Sketching Baby Animals
Artists learn sketching skills while focusing on baby animals and their parents. Dates: July 5–9, July 26–30, or August 16–20.
The health and safety of our campers and staff is our highest priority. The San Diego Zoo will be adhering to San Diego County, State of California Social Services Department, Department of Public Health, and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for summer camps and child care facilities. Please be advised we have made modifications to our existing camp program to be in alignment with these guidelines.
