Middle School Zoo Camp
Hello Camp Family,
All campers, 10 years old or older are required
Exceptions to this requirement include; if your camper has health reasons that prevent them from wearing a face covering, need to take a short break while wearing one (while remaining 6 ft apart), eating or drinking, and while participating in Splash Day.
Campers under the age of 10 are not required but are encouraged to wear face coverings.
If your camper is 10 years old or older, and arrives without a face covering, we will provide them with one and charge $1. We will not be offering masks to campers under the age of 10.
