Summer Experience gives your child the opportunity to experience the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. During his or her week of camp, your child will visit all the Zoo’s regions and get an in-depth opportunity to learn about our natural world.
Your child will participate in a variety of fun activities and lessons designed to promote awareness of our environment. Some of the activities the campers will enjoy include arts and crafts, songs, games, hands on animal experiences and group play.
Lots of time will be spent outdoors, so please make sure your child dresses accordingly. Leave their “best” clothes at home, but send them with plenty of sun block!
In addition, every camper will take home a group photo and a specially designed t-shirt to help them remember their fun week.
