Summer Camp 2012
Preregistration required.
This summer, run like a cheetah, soar like an eagle, hop like a frog and discover how you can save these animals! Summer Camp at the Philadelphia Zoo gives children the opportunity to actively learn and immerse themselves into the wonderful world of animals. Hands on games and activities around the Zoo teach kids to not only care about animals, but to take an active role in saving species. The Zoo offers full-day and half-day programs for children ages 3 to 15 years old ranging from one to three weeks in length in June, July and August. All programs are targeted to specific age groups.
This summer, all Zoo campers will also visit the Zoo’s seasonal attraction, the Trail of the Lorax, and get to speak for the trees and tree-dwellers alike in our highly active summer experience!
To reserve space for your child, a $50 per camper non-refundable deposit is required.
You will receive an early bird discount of $50 per camp session if full payment is received prior to March 30, 2012. Full camp payments for all camp sessions must be received by May 25, 2012 or your registration will be cancelled.
