ASHEBORO — The North Carolina Zoo is bringing its Summer Camps program to you in a new, online format.
In an effort to offer the summer camp experience during this challenging time, the Zoo’s Virtual Summer Camps are a way for kids to learn about animals and their natural environment in a new way.
Kids will participate in many of the fun activities traditionally found in our camps, just in a virtual setting. Activities such as crafts, animal ambassador encounters, behind the scenes with keepers and games are all part of the fun learning experience.
Zoo camp programs offer a variety of experiences for rising grades 1st through 6th. Each camp is three hours long and has a morning or afternoon option.
For a full list of camps, dates, prices, age ranges, questions and to register, visit our website at nczoo.org/camps or contact us at zoo.camps@nczoo.org or call 336-879-7700.
