Mill Mountain Zoo Camp

Summer 2008

 

Join the Zoo for an adventure filled summer.  Campers will learn about animals, habitats and things they can do to help wildlife. Games, crafts, and animal encounters are a part of each camp’s action packed agenda.

 

Registration

Zoo Camp is designed for students ages 4 -11.  Age restrictions will be strictly enforced to ensure quality programming.  All camps are outdoors and go rain or shine so students must dress appropriately.  Tennis shoes are best.  No flip flops, sandals, or crocs please!  In most sessions, campers are asked to bring a lunch.  The zoo will provide water and juice.  Registration is required one full week prior to the start date of the camp, and reservations are made only with full payment. No refunds are given unless the zoo cancels camp.  Space in all camps is limited.  To register, fill out the attached form and return to the zoo with full payment.  Registration may be mailed or dropped off at the zoo.

No phone reservations will be accepted.  Please call the Education Department with additional questions.
