Audubon offers your young nature enthusiast a unique summer camp experience filled with hands-on science investigations, Zoo explorations, up-close animal encounters, arts and crafts, and nature-themed activities. Campers will enjoy the Zoo as their playground as they discover wild animals, wild places, and what people are doing to protect them.
Audubon Nature Institute strives to accommodate all children interested attending Zoo Summer Camp. Please be aware that our camp is physically active, at least half of the day is spent outdoors, and there are multiple transitions and sensory changes throughout the day. All campers are expected to adhere to the Camp Code of Conduct, follow directions from staff, and respect the safety and well-being of the people and animals at the Zoo.

SAFETY PROTOCOLS
2021’s Zoo Camp experience will look a little different from previous years as we strive to provide the highest quality and safest camp experience possible. Audubon will be offering a smaller format and more personalized camp experience by limiting the number of campers each week. Updated safety policies and procedures include:
FACE MASKS
Face coverings are required for all children throughout the camp day.
Mask breaks will be taken when outdoors and when social distancing can be maintained.
GROUPS
Groups of children six-years-old and older will be limited to at 16 campers per group with a 1:8 instructor ratio. Groups of four to six-year-olds will be capped at 18 campers per group with a 1:6 instructor ratio.
Zoo Campers will be kept within their group – like a school pod – throughout the week to reduce potential exposures to illness.
WELLNESS CHECKS
Guardians should closely monitor the health of each camp participant and keep children at home if any symptoms of a viral infection are identified. During drop-off, a verbal wellness assessment and temperature check will be conducted for each camper.
