Campers experience unique behind-the-scenes access and direct engagement with Zoo Atlanta's Animal Care Teams, particularly for older age groups, providing an unparalleled insight into wildlife care and conservation.
Zoo Atlanta's Summer Safari Camp offers an immersive adventure for campers aged 5-14, fostering a deeper connection to animals and inspiring conservation action. Through a variety of engaging activities, young explorers are immersed in hands-on, minds-on learning. Campers participate in zoo explorations, up-close animal encounters with ambassador animals, and inquiry-based scientific investigations. They also engage in STEAM-based projects, environmental games, and nature walks in the surrounding Grant Park. The camp aims to teach attainable strategies and goals to combat environmental issues, empowering campers to find simple ways to make a difference for wildlife and wild places. Older campers (Quest, ages 12-14) gain a more profound understanding of wildlife care and conservation through interactive discussions, hands-on simulations, and live demonstrations of animal and habitat care, including meeting various Animal Care Teams and exploring behind-the-scenes areas.
A typical day involves zoo explorations, hands-on science activities, animal encounters, STEAM-based projects, and environmental games, with some groups also venturing into Grant Park for nature walks and environmental research.
This camp is best for young explorers aged 5-14 who are passionate about wildlife, interested in science and conservation, and enjoy hands-on learning and outdoor activities.
