Designed for campers ages 4 to 17, this one-of-a-kind program blends traditional camp excitement with up-close animal encounters and outdoor exploration.
From foam parties and silent discos to crafts, games, and team challenges, every day brings a new opportunity to learn, play, and make lasting friendships.
Each week-long session encourages curiosity and discovery for all ages — including Middle School, High School, and Overnight Camps. Whether your camper loves wildlife or simply having fun with friends, they’ll find their pack at the Fort Worth Zoo.
