WHAT IF I WANT MY CHILD IN THE SAME CAMP AS A FRIEND? If you would like your child to be placed in the same session as another, you must mail all completed registration forms together in the SAME envelope. This is due to overwhelming response and processing of registrations. PLEASE NOTE: Member registrations that are mailed with non-member registrations will both be processed after the non-members date.

CAN I ENROLL MY CHILD IN AN OLDER AGE GROUP? Our camps are age appropriate and we adhere to all age requirements.

WHAT IF THE CAMP I WANT IS FULL? We have a waiting list for each camp. However, there is no guarantee that a space will become available. If you wish to be put on the waiting list, fill out a registration form, mail it in with out payment making note that you would like to be put on the waiting list. We will call if we can get you into the camp.

HOW SHOULD MY CHILD DRESS? Children should dress comfortably, with closed-toe shoes. Campers will go out into the Zoo quite often.

We take plenty of water and cool-down breaks. Campers will receive a T-Shirt which is included in the camp fee. (We will not be able to exchange any sizes. T-Shirts are pre-shrunk). A class photo will be taken on the second day of camp and we request that all campers wear their T-Shirts on that day. Also, remember that if it rains, bring rain coats only. Please, no umbrellas or flip flops.

WILL THERE BE A SNACK BREAK? Yes, please pack a snack for your child. If your child is not accustomed to having a snack, it is still suggested that you send something. We have found in the past that when a child arrives with no snack and everyone else is eating, they also want something. Please keep in mind that campers will not be able to purchase anything from the snack bar.

Please indicate who is authorized to pick up your child from camp. For safety reasons, photo ID is required. If someone other than those listed below will be picking up your child, you will need to present written information to the instructor at the beginning of the camp day.

MAY I STAY WITH MY CHILD? Parents are required to stay with children that are registered for our Kinder Camp (3 yr. olds) only. If your child is registered for another camp and cannot remain in camp with out you for more than a few minutes, please wait another year.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PICKING MY CHILD UP FROM CAMP? Pick up will not take place at the front gate. Please refer to the “PICK UP MAP” in confirmation packet for further details. Please remember this is for the safety of all the children.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL? Participants must provide a written notice to the Education Department at least three weeks prior to the program date for participants to qualify for a 50% refund.

Those wishing to cancel one camp reservation and make another for a different session must provide the same written notification at least three weeks prior to the scheduled camps.
