Zooperheroes Camp is offered to children with special needs, providing additional support while learning at the zoo. This camp offers 1 on 1 support with a small class size and additional zoo educators along with visual schedules, visual supports, first/then boards, quiet areas, choice boards and more. Campers will meet animals up close, visit animals throughout the Zoo, along with hands-on activities, art exploration, and games. Zooperheroes Camp encourages peer social interaction and fosters connections with animals and nature at the zoo. Dr. Zoolittle Have you ever dreamt of talking to the animals? Step into the world of Dr. Zoolittle, where every creature has a story to tell! From chattering parrots to curious kangaroos, discover what our animal friends might say if we could understand their language. Through playful adventures, you’ll discover how we care for our zoo animals and help their worlds stay wild and wonderful! Attendance policy – Due to the increased interest in Zooperheroes Camp, currently campers are limited to attending this camp a maximum of 2 years (does not have to be consecutive) to allow more campers the opportunity to experience this program. Families interested in a camper attending Zooperheroes Camp must complete the pre-registration which will open on Wednesday, February 4. Due to an increased interest in this program, participants will be selected in the order the pre-registration forms are received. There are 10 spaces for this program and we will update the website when spaces are filled. Completing the pre-registration form does not guarantee a space at camp.Additional Information
