Zoo Summer Camp Sign-up Starts Soon

It may be January, but summer will be here before you know it. Registration for Lincoln Park Zoo's summer camp opens in February. Start your engines!

January is just beginning, but summer will be here before we know it—along with summer camps at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Through the seasonal program, pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students can explore animal diversity and learn about conservation and care in the zoo's living classroom.

Space can fill up quickly, so you'll need to act fast to ensure a wild summer for your kids. Donor Club and Safari and Zoologist-level members enjoy priority registration for zoo summer camps. Not at that giving level? Upgrade today to secure a spot before registration opens to everyone!
