Cancellation requests received within 2 weeks of registered camp week will not receive a refund. Would you like to change registered camp weeks? Requests to move your camper to a different week are subject to availability. Zoo camp weeks fill very quickly so space is usually limited and changing weeks is not guaranteed. If you are unable to change your registered week, please see the camp cancellation policy above. All requests to cancel or reschedule must be submitted via email to zoocamp@nashvillezoo.org. Please include the camper’s name, camp session and date.
🍴 Lunch
Campers must bring a nut-free, non-refrigerated lunch, snack and refillable water bottle. Nashville Zoo does not provide lunches for campers. Due to allergies, Zoo camp is peanut and tree-nut free (sun-butter is ok). To help keep lunches cool, a reusable ice pack is recommended for lunches. For campers attending after care, we recommend packing an additional snack.
⚠️ Allergies
Zoo camp is peanut and tree-nut free (sun-butter is ok).
