Zoo Camp- The Living Desert

The Living Desert is doing their ZOO CAMP again this year. Here is some of the information I received off of their website!

Summer Zoo Camp

8 weeks!

Once again, we'll be offering a selection of ZooCamp experiences. Standard Summer ZooCamp consists of six weekly sessions. Each themed class focuses on an entertaining and educational topic, geared to the specific age level at which it's offered. ZooCampers will be excited by the special behind-the-scenes tours and animal encounters you can only find at The Living Desert! 

Summer ZooCamp weekly sessions are offered for ages 4 though 12. These sessions run Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 12:00 noon. Summer ZooCampers need to come equipped for outdoor activity with a snack, lunch and water bottle each day.

We'll also be offering special 2-day sessions with our very popular Jr. Ranger Program for campers ages 6-14 at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and NEW programming for ZooCampers ages 10-14, where our older ZooCampers engage in stimulating observations and experiments to better understand the desert around them! 

ZooCamp Sleepover Option! ZooCampers now have the opportunity to spend the night at the zoo! ZooCamp overnights are offered once per Zoo Camp. Your adventure begins at 6:30pm and includes guided nighttime walks, a campfire program and surprises along the way! Breakfast the next morning is provided.
