Zoo Camp for Kids: The place to be this summer!
Binder Park Zoo Camp!
What more exciting place can there possibly be than at the Binder Park Zoo, learning about animals, conservation, and our natural environment? In this fun, dynamic, and engaging setting, kids will enjoy a day or week of guided walks, crafts, activities, games, and much more. Children who attend year after year will build on previous knowledge of animals and conservation.
Each day or week of Zoo Camp will focus on exciting themes for children to explore. For each age and grade, we offer several topics through out the summer, so kids can spend a couple days to several weeks exploring animals and nature.
