WHEN WILD MEETS LIFE
ZOO CAMP
Get ready for a wild summer! At Zoo Camp, campers will not only have the opportunity to learn about everything scaly, furry, and feathery, but they’ll find out how they can help the San Antonio Zoo secure a future for wildlife!

Calling all Adventurers!
Spend Spring Break exploring the great outdoors! Each day will bring a new opportunity to connect with nature through activities and games, meet animal ambassadors, and create relationships through free-play.
Please note that Spring Break Nature Adventure is a similar, but different experience from the traditional Zoo Camp program. As the zoo is exceptionally crowded during Spring Break, to ensure child safety, this Spring Break drop-off program will be located away from the main zoo campus and will not include a zoo visit.
Zoo Camp Safety Measures & Important Information
Zoo Camp Safety Measures will be updated as new state/local guidelines are available for summer camp programs. Zoo Camp refunds are available with a minimum of seven days’ notice, minus a $10 processing fee.
