Camp Joey
For children age 4 - entering kindergarten.
Children must be 4 years old by their program date. No exceptions will be made.
Get ready, little ones! It’s time to hop out of the pouch and into the Zoo at Camp Joey! Our days will be filled with animal antics, habitat ventures and Zoo fun as we experience and appreciate the animal world together. The Camp Joey theme this summer is If I Were an Animal, and explores animal adaptations.
You will:
• Meet and touch live animals
• Create amazing art and a photo journal to take home
• Play active animal games
• Ride the Zooline Railroad
• Sing and dance to fun Zoo tunes
• Visit great Zoo exhibits
• And more!
Camp Joey t-shirt, group photo, and snack included.
