Zoo Mini Camp

ZOO MINI CAMP

Join us for a Bonus Mini Camp!!

Saturday, December 13th - 1:00-5:00 pm

We know how difficult it is to get all your tasks crossed off your list this time of year. To help, let us entertain your campers for an afternoon while you do some shopping, gift wrapping, cooking, or relaxing!

We will take time during the afternoon for some animal encounters, a craft, and games. Please feed your campers a good lunch before bringing them to the Zoo. We will provide a small snack during the afternoon.

Registration for Spring 2026 Zoo Mini Camps is now open!

If your desired date appears full, add your name to the waiting list in the chance that we may be able to open up more spots!

Join us for one or all of our "wild" Zoo Mini Camps! Based on our popular Summer, Spring Break, and Winter Break Zoo Camp Programs, each Mini Camp is based on a different theme and offers an opportunity for animal encounters, crafts, and games. Held on single no-school days following the MMSD school calendar.
