Join us for Summer Camp at the San Diego Zoo! In weeklong, full-day camps (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 first grade-level Classic Camp programs:
Fur, Feathers, Shells, and Scales!
Wildlife have cool and sometimes wacky adaptations to survive and thrive. Learn about furry, feathered, shelled, and scaly friends and what makes them special! Dates: June 9–13, June 16–20, June 23–27, or July 7–11.
Home Sweet Habitat
Burrows, dens, nests, and dreys—believe it or not, all are places that wildlife call “home.” Get ready to explore the wild world of animal homes and habitats! Dates: July 14–18, July 21–25, July 28–August 1, or August 4–8.
The health and safety of our campers and team members is our highest priority. The San Diego Zoo adheres to San Diego County, California Department of Social Services, California Department of Public Health, and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for summer camps and childcare facilities. Please be advised we may make modifications to our existing camp program to be in alignment with these guidelines.
