Zoo Camp
Summer Conservation Camps 2023!
Environmental Conservation Camps and Corps:
Encourage your children to be part of SF Zoo’s Environmental Conservation Corps! During these weekly programs, summer campers learn about animals, habitats, biodiversity hot spots, and conservation efforts while exploring the different regions of earth right here at the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens. Campers will engage in conservation efforts, journal like a scientist, have fun with hands-on STEM activities, meet with animal care staff, and participate in unique animal encounters. Registration for children of elementary school age begins mid-March, and early bird pricing ends April 10th. (Scholarships are available).
