Our Zoo Camp is an inclusive camp

        program where ALL children come

        Association and the National

        Inclusion Project, Zoo Camp features:

        •    Fun and learning through science, art, games, activities,

          and encounters with animals and nature
        •    STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,
          and Mathematics) projects and lessons

        •    A talented staff team with expertise in education,
          recreation, science, and inclusion
        •    One-of-a-kind Brookfield Zoo experiences

        •    Opportunities to make friends and

        The Chicago Zoological Society is accredited by the American
        Camp Association, the only accreditation organization for camps
        in North America. The Association is recognized for its standards
        for camp health, safety, and programming. The organization
        partners with the American Red Cross and the American Academy
        of Pediatrics to ensure that camp practices are current and high
        quality. We believe in inclusion and welcome campers of all abilities.
        Only 7% of ACA-accredited camps provide an inclusive setting
        that allows participants with and without disabilities to enjoy the
        experience together. We are proud to be one of them.
