Summer Camp at the Queens Zoo (3rd-5th graders)
Camp Description
Zoo Explorers: Forces of Nature (grades 3-5)
The world is changing, and so are we! Humans have the power to completely alter the environment: what does that mean for animals?
Join us as we explore how climate change is shaping the world, and in turn changing the way animals look, adapt, and behave. We'll discover how animals evolve over time and in response to the ways we transform the planet, and how some animals are able to weather the change while others go extinct. Campers will be inspired to find the ways they can advocate for wildlife and make a positive change in the world.
This camp is for children entering 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade in the fall of 2025. Price is per week. Sign up for Zoo Explorers: Forces of Nature AND Zoo Explorers: Wild By Design for two different camp experiences!
Price: $558 members / $620 regular (5 day camp)
Price: $450 members / $500 regular (4 day camp)*
Extended care: $180 members / $200 regular (5 day)
Extended care: $144 members / $160 regular (4 day)*
*Pro-rated for 4th of July week (June 30-July 3)
