2013 Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens Camps

Conservation Cove-Gabi MooreEach year, the Indianapolis Zoo hosts a wide range of exciting and fun camps that put a "wild" twist on traditional summer camp fun! Camps are designed with age-appropriate activities to encourage discovery and appreciation of wildlife. Campers will have the opportunity to make new friends, explore the Zoo, and participate in games, crafts, tours, shows, animal visits and more. Zoo camps are well supervised with trained camp staff. Space is limited and camps do sell out  so sign up early!
