Summer Camp
Summer Zoo Camp has been enjoyed by campers for over 25 summers! Kids ages 3 years through going into 9th grade have fun exploring different animal themes in small class sizes. Each class follows a particular theme and instructors plan various activities and tours to bring the class to life. Camp activities may include; games, zoo tours, park exploration, behind-the-scene tours, keeper talks, hands-on animal demonstrations, stories, songs, art projects and more.
*2022 CAMP UPDATE - please note that camp sessions filled in record time this year. We are completely full at this time and have closed our online registration. Thank you so much for your patience, and for your continued support of the Zoo. We look forward to another great season!
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: John Ball Zoo does not currently require program participants to wear face masks. We will continue to follow masking guidelines set by local, state, and federal agencies and update this policy as needed.
