Austin Zoo Summer Camps offer hands-on, unforgettable experiences for kids aged 6-12 at the only Zoological Association of America (ZAA) accredited zoo in the Austin area.
Austin Zoo Summer Camps offer children ages 6-12 an immersive experience in wildlife and conservation. Campers engage in hands-on activities such as animal encounters, science experiments, and zookeeper chats. They learn about diverse animal habitats and ecosystems through zoo tours and nature-based activities. The program emphasizes connecting with animals and nature, fostering an understanding of conservation issues, and exploring what it takes to run a zoo. Activities also include crafts, active games, and creating enrichment items for the zoo animals. The camp aims to inspire curiosity, build persistence, and provide memorable, life-changing experiences.
A typical day at Austin Zoo Summer Camp includes a zoo walk around 10:00 AM followed by a zookeeper chat at 10:30 AM, with other activities like animal encounters, science experiments, crafts, and games throughout the day.
This camp is best for children aged 6-12 who are enthusiastic about animals, nature, and wildlife conservation, and enjoy hands-on learning in an outdoor setting.
