Brookfield Zoo Camp Chicago

At Brookfield Zoo Camp, children between the ages of 4 and 14 engage in a dynamic and fun-filled experience designed to deepen their connection with nature and wildlife. The camp offers a variety of age-appropriate activities such as guided hikes, hands-on animal encounters, arts and crafts, and educational games, all within the expansive 235-acre zoo grounds packed with diverse animal species. Campers enjoy a supportive and inclusive environment where they can make new friends and build self-confidence. Programs are available for both full-day and half-day sessions, and special opportunities exist for younger tots in the Seedlings program as well as for high school students interested in conservation science. The camp’s comprehensive approach ensures an enriching summer filled with adventure, learning, and personal growth.
