Join us for a WILD Summer!
Our summer camp is designed to provide children the opportunity to learn about animals, zoos, and wildlife conservation. This enriching and educational experience will be filled with Zoo visits, live animal presentations, crafts, games, stories, learning projects, and much more! More importantly, each child will learn the importance of having fun in nature and making new friends! Our camps are geared towards children who are eager to learn, follow directions, and want to have fun. Through our summer camp program, we are hoping to inspire the next generation of wildlife conservationists and stewards of the environment.
Following the guidelines for summer camp set by Delaware Division of Public Health and Governor John Carney, The Brandywine Zoo will be offering summer camp on a limited basis to accommodate new cleaning protocols, attendance restrictions, and limitations on zoo and animal activities.
