If you’re a parent to a young animal lover then you can’t go wrong with the Bronx Zoo Summer Camp option. There are educational and fun experiences for grades kindergarten through eighth grade—and programming for toddlers (with a parent or caregiver present), too. The campers are split up into adorably and aptly-named groups like ”Kinderzoo: Welcome To My Biome,” “Zoo Vet Academy,” and “Little Zoo Vets”. There are camp options that begin at 3-day and go up to two weeks. The zoo also offers extended care for children.
