This year’s theme, Animals Around the World, allows campers to travel from Colorado to Africa, South America, Antarctica, and Asia without ever leaving Denver Zoo! They will connect with animals and cultures through touchable animal encounters, Zoo exploration and observation, crafts, and wild animal games. Zoo instructors will teach your campers songs and involve them in projects that will stick with them!
There’s a Safari for every season – go on a week-long safari this summer!

Camp Cancellation CAMP DESCRIPTIONS
Pre-K Half-Day (must be at least 4 years old)WAY TO GROW!Animals grow in so many ways! From the time little ones hatch or are born they learn to live and develop - sometimes with family members and sometimes all on their own. Watch, wonder, and play as we explore the fascinating life cycles of animals around the world, and compare them to our own. HAPPY, HEALTHY WORLDJust like kids, animals have things they need to be healthy and happy. Are animals’ needs different around the world? What about kids’? Discover how Denver Zoo animals stay healthy and happy, and how both animals and people around the world are alike in what they need and enjoy.
K-1st Half and Full-DayMY WILD HOMETravel from plains to mountains, rainforest to ocean, and pole to pole to encounter the diverse places that animals and people call home. Discover where kids from other cultures live, learn, and play, and how you are connected to the animals who share these far away homes. MY ANIMAL PLANETIs a monkey more like an elephant or an eagle? Is a python more like an alligator or a frog? What would YOU need to be more like a turtle? Become a scientist as we explore how animals all over the world are sorted into groups. Compare mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects to find out how our animal planet is not so big after all!
2nd - 3rd GradeANIMAL OLYMPICSJust as the Olympic Games bring people from many countries together to compete, our Animal Olympics will compare the amazing adaptations animals use to survive in ecosystems around the globe. In our good-natured competition, we’ll examine the environments where these animals live, and why some animals thrive, other animals survive, and some animals just can't compete. ANIMAL EXPEDITIONSJoin us on a world safari to visit different cultures and explore their connection with animals. In some places animals are important symbols, in others they help people get work done, and all across the globe people view different animals as companions. Discover how helping protect animals is a global concern that people around the world share.
4th - 5th GradeWORLD WILDLIFE INVESTIGATORSEver wonder why animals from all over the world look so different? Put on your detective hat, conduct your own experiments and explore the zoo as we aim to uncover The Great Biodiversity Mystery. As you unravel the case, you'll meet creatures across the globe while exploring their connection to each other, and to you!
6th-8th GradeCONSERVATION QUESTDid you know Denver Zoo helps animals all over the world? Our polar bears, elephants and lions are ambassadors for their cousins in the wild that need our help. Spend a week immersed in the world of wildlife science as you practice the same innovative methods our conservation biologists use to investigate and study the animals we are dedicated to saving. 8TH GRADE ADVANCED CAMP: MY FUTURE, MY ZOO - AVAILABLE ONLY THE WEEK OF JULY 11-15Children registering for this class must be entering Eighth Grade in fall of 2016.
