The Long Island Game Farm is inviting children from all over Long Island to Camp Zoo in Manorville, New York. Camp Zoo is a weeklong summer day camp with weekly sessions running through July and August.
Designed for children 4 - 11 years of age, Camp Zoo will provide children with
a fun-filled, rich
learning environment they will remember all year.
Each day at Camp Zoo will offer new and exciting experiences such as zoo-tours, close-up animal encounters, and nature walks. In addition, there will be arts and crafts activities, animal stories and sing-alongs, nature-related games, and informative animal tours. Special behind the scenes activities will be offered that are only available to children who attend Camp Zoo.
Camp Zoo has been developed with the guidance of Irene Nowell, former Superintendent of Schools at Remsenburg-Speonk UFSD and current Education Field Supervisor at Dowling College.
Each session will take place at the Game Farm from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Camp is held rain or shine. Campers will receive a simple mid-morning and afternoon snack. Campers will provide their their own lunch. We provide water and juice.
Campers will take part in a wide variety of activities and projects. When selecting a week for your child, please choose the appropriate age grouping based on the table below!

"We can't wait to get started with our seventh year of Camp Zoo. This
program is as exciting for us as it will be for the young campers. The camp
is the ultimate animal experience where children will learn in-depth about
different animals and wildlife issues. Our mission has always been to offer
high-quality fun and education to families across Long Island and Camp Zoo
takes that concept one step farther by really getting the kids involved,"
