Winter, Spring, and Summer Adventures
Have a younger camper? Check out Tadpole Academy!
“I've never seen [my daughter] so enthused about any school or camp experience before… Schools could take a lesson or two from your curricula -- you managed to integrate content with experience, problem solving, and cooperative group work. You even got kids taking notes -- and looking back at them. And loving every minute of it…. My daughter was in heaven for a week. Thank you and thank you again.”
Lise Brody, parent of a ZooCamper
(Ages 6 - 10)
