Calendar: Summer Camp

At the San Diego Zoo

With a little help from Summer Camp at the San Diego Zoo, the two words you won't hear from your youngsters this summer are "I'm bored." Students entering grades K–7 can take cool five-day programs for each grade level. They will meet exotic critters, visit behind-the-scenes areas, and enjoy crafts, drawing, cooking, music, and much more!

"We are very impressed with all aspects of Zoo Camp. As parents, we appreciated the wonderful supervison and attention given to our children while at camp. Everything is run smoothly and the staff is all upbeat, competent, and friendly. The drop-off/pick-up is easy and safe. Our children come home excited and always beg to go back! "—June O., parent
