Day camps provide exciting, educational Zoo experiences for kids 4-11, spaces limited–don’t wait to enroll!

Spring into fun with Zoo camp! Enrollment is now open for the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden’s School’s Out Day Camp for Spring Break 2020. The OKC Zoo’s education department offers daily themed camps that include educational activities, in-park exploration, up-close animal ambassador visits and more. Spring break camps are set for Monday, March 16, through Friday, March 20, 2020.

“Our day camps provide unique educational opportunities for animal and nature lovers you can’t find anywhere else,” said Rachael Robinson, OKC Zoo director of education. “The Zoo is the best place for kids to embrace their passions and curiosity for learning as they build a stronger connection to wildlife, wild places and an understanding for conserving both.”

School’s Out Day Camps are available for children ages 4 to 11. The cost is $45 per camper per day. Camps run from 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. at the OKC Zoo’s Rosser Conservation Education Center. Snacks are provided, but campers must bring their lunch. Space is limited and advance registration is required. To enroll your child or for additional information, visit okczoo.org/camps or call (405) 425-0218.
