Great Friends, Good Times, Adventures Around Every Corner

Sarasota Jungle Gardens Zoo Camp is unlike any other camp in the area. It explores nature through hands-on games, crafts, demonstrations and other fun activities! Come explore behind the scenes as you learn about caring for our animals. There’s lots of animal interactions and trekking through the jungle. You’ll see first-hand what it takes to be a zookeeper.

Camp is designed for children ages 6 – 11 

There are no prerequisites for any of our camps. We update our program regularly, so whether you’ve been here before or are joining us for the first time, Zoo Camp at Sarasota Jungle Gardens will be a memorable, fun and educational experience for all.

Camp is for making good memories that last a lifetime. We make sure all campers feel welcome, are included and are given many opportunities to make connections with other participants. And, we take camper safety very seriously. All of our counselors are adults that have passed background screening, including fingerprinting, and drug testing. We offer low camper to counselor ratios and children are always supervised. We also require parents/guardians show identification before children are released.

Camp is running for 6 weeks.  4 weeks in June and 2 in July.  Minimums apply.  Space is limited and camp will likely reach capacity.  Please sign up early to ensure a spot for your child.  One t-shirt and daily snacks are included in weekly fee.  Additional shirts can be purchased for $12.00 plus tax.  Lunch is not provided. Campers should bring their lunch.  Lunch packages (hot dog, pizza, deli sandwich, nuggets, etc.) can be purchased on line or daily at camp.  Camp runs from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm.  Drop off begins at 8:50 am.  Weekly fee – $270.00.  Partial weeks are not permitted.  No refunds.  Children must follow expected behaviors.
