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:
Hangin’ with Wildlife
Spectacular sticky feet, peculiar prehensile tails, and surprisingly strong toes help different species of wildlife hang out in their favorite places. Learn about wildlife who enjoy a view from above! Dates: Check back for 2026 dates.
Groovin’ with the Ground Dwellers
Some wildlife species live a life down on the ground—or under it. Explore the Zoo in search of animals of all sizes who prefer to stay close to the surface! Dates: Check back for 2026 dates.
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.
