Zoo Adventures Camp Sessions:
Instead of keeping the kids inside during February school vacation, send them to Winter Adventures ZooCamp where your child will be engaged in a full day of crafts, hands-on and inquiry-driven activities, encounters with wild animal ambassadors and even bundled-up tours of the Zoo where each camper will get a chance to feed the goats in the Alex and Ani Farmyard. Please note: Only campers that attend all 5 days will receive a t-shirt. Camp runs 8:15 am – 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday of February 17-21.
THEME: Jungle Journey
Escape the cold of a New England winter and join us on a trip to the rainforest! We’ll explore the four layers of tropical rainforests, the animals that live there and how they survive. Friday afternoon will feature a Jungle Jam in a rainforest built by ZooCampers out of recycled materials throughout the week.
- Monday, 2/17: Where are the Rainforests?
- Tuesday, 2/18: Forest Floor
- Wednesday, 2/19: Understory
- Thursday, 2/20: Canopy

- Shake off winter with a week filled with crafts, hands-on and inquiry-driven activities, encounters with wild animal ambassadors, and guided Zoo tours. Each Spring Adventures camper will get a ZooCamp t-shirt and the chance to feed the goats in the Alex and Ani Farmyard. Camp runs 8:15 am – 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday the week of April 14-18.
THEME: All In The Family
Warm weather is on the way and with it often comes brand new little ones! Growing up wild can be tough. Some start out on their own, some with a little help from their parents, some with an extended family, and some with a whole community to look out for them. We’ll learn how baby animals survive and thrive in families of all kinds!

2025 Themes:
ODD WEEKS: Feeding Frenzy
It’s dinnertime! With many different kinds of food come many different kinds of adaptations for eating. Using beaks, toes, teeth, paws, big mouths and little mouths, the different ways that animals chow down at mealtimes are as fascinating as the animals themselves. Elbows off the table, dude.
