Summer ZooCamp - Oakland Zoo - Oakland , CA


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/30/2021
Summer ZooCamp 2021 will have mixed-age classes due to COVID cohort protocols, and this summer we are offering age-appropriate programs for children ages 5-10. Reservations are made through Camp and Class Manager, a secure online registration service. Registration closes at noon the Monday before each session so that camp staff can prepare rosters and materials for the upcoming week. We offer two themes (Class A - Animal Athletes and Class B - Animal Homes and Habitats) on alternating weeks at each grade level. You can avoid repeating activities by registering for Class A one week, and Class B another week. The exact class curriculum and activities are developed during staff training in June. Each class will include zoo tours, animal close-ups, crafts, games, science projects, and behind-the-scenes experiences as appropriate.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Class A – Animal Athletes:  Do you think you can run faster than a tiger? How about leap further than a lemur? Who do you think would be able to go across the monkey bars faster – you or an actual monkey? Learn all about these and other awesome animal athletes, and find out why they would take the gold every time!

Class B - Animal Homes and Habitats: What’s the difference between a habitat and a home? How do some animals survive in the rainforest and some in the African savanna? What animals once lived in California that we can no longer see in the wild? Come explore the different places animals live and call home!

High School: Grades 9-12 (Teen Assistants)

Times: 8:30am - 4:30pm.

Fees: $10 for members, $15 for non-members.

Teen Assistants (T.A.): Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, we will only be hosting a very small in-person camp this summer. As such, we are only going to be bringing on Teen Assistants who have already participated in the program in the past. If this does not apply to you, we recommend you look into the summer season of the Teen Wild Guides or join us for summer 2022 when we should be able to run a full camp once again. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Extended Care

Due to Alameda County guidelines involving cohort mixing we are unable to provide before and after care this summer. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will be offering an extended window for drop-off (8:45-9:15am) and pick-up (3:45-4:15pm)
