SUMMER CAMP UPDATE
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.
Thank you for caring for animals as much as we do and for being part of our zoo community. We cannot wait to welcome you back to the zoo when it is safe to do so.
Your support is more important than ever to keep our vital work going. Please consider giving to the Woodland Park Zoo Relief Fund.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Woodland Park Zoo Camps inspire children to make conservation a priority in their lives by advancing their STEAM skills, building connections to nature, and exploring the animals of our world.
Woodland Park Zoo offers school-year break camps and summer camp. Camp dates follow Seattle Public Schools' calendar.
Camps are divided into tiers by camper age. Each tier offers developmentally appropriate curricula that support Next Generation Science Standards. Curricula themes are centered around the zoo's mission to save wildlife and inspire everyone to make conservation a priority in their lives.
