New Jersey Summer Zoo Camps

New Jersey Summer Zoo Camps organize in the off season to provide your kids with a week or more of summer vacation adventure, fun and even a little thing called education. Of course your kids might not notice that they are learning and expanding their horizons day by day. They might not even notice the heat that generally is part of the New Jersey summer experience if they are too busy touring the zoo, visiting their favorite animals, taking part in zoo centered activities and arts and crafts and having fun with new friends at one of these New Jersey Summer Zoo Camps.

Half day programs are presented from 9 a.m.- noon and from 1 p.m - 4 p.m. The cost of the program for a single week is $90. Zoo and animal related themes will be the center of all the action. Campers will take part in games, crafts, animal visits as they familiarize themselves with the animals and their habitats at the Cape May Zoo.

Bergen County, New Jersey. The Bergen County Zoo will offer zoo camp in 2008 for children from 5-15. Children will be divided for activities into groups by age. The zoo experience is a fun one for kids. Attendees get to do the kinds of things they often don't find time for during a seasonal visit with parents. Kids will tour the zoo, participate in up close encounters with select animals, enjoy crafts and play zoo and animal related games. During the week they will also be enriched by sharing with zoo staff about animal behavior, adaptations, conservation and habitats. For just $100 your child can spend Mon.-Fri, 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. and gather up some great summer fun, memories and knowledge.
