Honolulu Zoo Society Zoo Camps

The Honolulu Zoo Society Zoo Camps provide a comprehensive summer program that immerses children in the rich and fascinating world of animals. Participants delve into animal biology, habitat studies, and conservation topics through interactive sessions that mix hands-on activities, crafts, and games. Structured across three age groups (5-6, 7-9, and 10-12 years old), this camp follows national educational standards to help bolster science learning in a fun and engaging way. Campers spend their days exploring specific animal-related themes each week, guided by knowledgeable leaders who craft lessons aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. Safety is a top priority; all staff are certified in first aid and CPR, and strict policies ensure careful supervision, including a unique camp T-shirt worn daily for easy camper recognition. Parents can opt for aftercare services extending pickup times to 5:30 p.m. The camp also carefully manages dietary concerns, offering nut-free snacks and accommodating allergies. Overall, this program supports children’s growth in scientific understanding while encouraging respect for wildlife and environmental stewardship in a supportive community setting. Registration benefits members of the Honolulu Zoo Society, who get priority access and discounts.
