Campers gain unforgettable experiences through behind-the-scenes access and close encounters with incredible wildlife, guided by expert Zoo staff.
The Dallas Zoo Summer Camps offer immersive, weeklong and single-day experiences for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, blending animal encounters with hands-on STEM learning. Campers delve into zoology, conservation, and environmental science through a variety of engaging activities. Participants explore the Zoo through guided tours, creative projects, and games that foster a deeper connection with the animal world. Specific programs allow campers to discover what it takes to be a zoologist, design a real Zoo exhibit, or learn the art of wildlife photography and storytelling. These experiences aim to cultivate curiosity, build teamwork, and instill a lasting appreciation for wildlife and conservation.
A typical day runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes educational Zoo tours, nature-based learning, creative projects, games, and up-close animal encounters.
This camp is ideal for K-8th graders who are curious about animals, passionate about conservation, and eager for hands-on learning experiences.
