Join us for Little Artists: Art Camp at the San Diego Zoo! Little Artists is a full-day camp (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) designed for those who are interested in both art and wildlife. 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. All art supplies are provided.
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 Little Artists camp programs:
$475 per week
Colorful Critters
Color can contrast, complement, or just be outrageously wild. Artists learn all about color found in wildlife and will bring home an array of colorful artwork! The Zoo provides all art supplies. Dates: June 9–13, June 16–20, June 23–27, or July 7–11.
Wild Side of Design
Nature has a wild side when it comes to design, from stripes to spots, monotones to duotones, and iridescent wildlife, too. Artists will discover their creative wild side! The Zoo provides all art supplies. 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.
