Spring Break Safari Camp

Spring Break Safari Camp is an exciting opportunity for students to dive into nature in a safe, hands-on, and age-appropriate setting. For Spring 2021, due to COVID-19 safety precautions and restrictions, we are only able to accommodate campers in grades 1st through 3rd. Campers of all abilities and learning styles can enjoy a fun, action-packed week where they will encounter animals up close, express their creativity, and explore the entire Zoo. With behind-the-scenes adventures and games galore, Safari Camp is a great way to discover the natural world.

Spring Break Safari Camp is for students who are currently enrolled in 1st-3rd grade in spring 2021.

Safari Camp Program Information

Safari Camp instructors are thoroughly prepared to provide your campers with an awesome time at camp! They are excited to share animals and nature with kids of all ages, and are trained in conservation education, classroom management, special needs, and First Aid/CPR.

Our camp programs are inclusive and encourage campers of all abilities and learning styles to learn at their own pace. A few activities may be overstimulating for campers who are sensory-sensitive. If you have concerns about whether Safari Camp is a good fit for your camper, please contact the Education Department.

All Safari Camp programs support Virginia Standards of Learning and Next Generation Science Standards. A summary of learning topics for each program is available upon request.
