Age groups
Children are grouped together based on their age. All activities are age-appropriate and we ask that you not request a child to be moved into a different age group. Children will only be placed together if they are in the same age group as listed below and based on availability. We are unable to accommodate children under the age of 4.
The age groups are for Summer Safari:
- 4- 5 years old (child must be toilet trained)
- 6-7 years old

Programs Topics and Dates
For each topic below, children will engage in activities designed for their specific age group. Younger campers will be observing animal, their behaviors and habitats while playing age- appropriate games and activities. Older campers will also learn about real-life conservation issues and how they can help animals from around the world. They will develop problem-solving techniques through gathering information and experimentation.
- Wet and Wild
Immerse yourself in the fascinating and important lives of wetland animals: fantastic frogs, amazing amphibians, colorful reptiles and more. Have fun exploring water wonders and making items you can use in your own backyard.
- ZSI-Atlanta
Zoo Atlanta will be filled with intrigue as you and your fellow campers become Zoo Scene Investigators, following clues to solve important cases about animals here at the Zoo. As wildlife detectives, you will examine bones, fur, scales and more to solve animal mysteries and secrets of the Zoo.
- Take a Walk on the Weird Side
Explore the wonders of the weird. Get ready to check out squirmy, wiggly, gooey and sometimes icky animals and their habitats. Examine owl pellets, identify animals by their tracks, and meet mole rats, warthogs, lizards and other odd creatures that call Zoo Atlanta home.

Extended care information
Extended Care is a time for campers to continue some of the learning they did during their day at camp. Instructors will lead the children in organized recreation, games and activities both in the morning and afternoon.
- If you are interested in the extended care option, you will need to select "Extended care" during registration and pay the additional fee - $25 for Half Day Camp and $50 for Full-Day Camp per child per registration (membership discounts do not apply).
- In order for your child to fully experience extended care, please be sure to drop off your child on time at 7:30am and please pick them up between 5:15-5:30pm. We must stress that 5:30 p.m. is the absolute latest time to pick children up.
- Note that half-day extended care is only available before camp beginning at 7:30 am. and only for children aged 4-5 participating in half day camp.
