ZOO CAMPS
Zoo Camp at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens offers a once in a life time experience of fun, adventure and learning! Campers will "learn the wild way" with our experienced education staff or seasonal camp team through zoo walks, animal encounters, nature play, and behind the scenes tours. We combine the classic camp experience in a unique setting that will have an impact on your child's relationship with nature and wildlife. At Zoo Camp you can expect your camper to enjoy classic camp songs and skits, field games, themed activities along with daily animal interactions. We hope your camper will join us on our next adventure below!
