Terms and Conditions

The Saint Louis Zoo takes great pride in its Camp tradition. Zoo Camp programs are designed using best practices in environmental education, to be developmentally appropriate and fun and are led by trained educators. These camps are, however, not a part of a school program and therefore not licensed by the state department of elementary and secondary education.
