DETAILS
We are checking voicemail messages remotely. If you leave a voicemail, please include an email address so we can contact you. Thank you for your understanding.
Black Bear lets kids spend the day tracking a grizzly bear, traveling through the forests of Borneo and discovering the Wild in our very own backyard. Each curriculum has a theme which will develop throughout the week with zoo exploration, activities, games, big body play and empathy building opportunities. Curricula align with age-appropriate learning and development standards with an emphasis on both a camper’s development as a scientist and peer collaboration.
2020 Summer Camps Have Been Canceled
It is with great sadness we announce that the summer camps scheduled in 2020 have been canceled. This was a very difficult decision to make but was done in order to preserve the zoo you know and love. We understand this is a challenging time for your families and this only adds to the disappointments you may face.
