Information About the Zoo Camp

During the summer, the Zoo Camp welcomes children aged 7 to 14 over several weeks (participation requires successful completion of the first grade of primary school). Children spend most of the day caring for animals, including cleaning, feeding, and general upkeep. At the same time, we place strong emphasis on sustainability education, environmental awareness, and, of course, recreation. Educational presentations and interactive games are key pillars of our program.

The camp package includes:

• daily zoo admission tickets for children, including full insurance
• annual zoo pass
• three meals per day (including a two-course lunch)
• arts and crafts activities
• educational presentations
• personal encounters with animals and conversations with zookeepers
• cleaning enclosures and getting to know zoo facilities and daily operations
• behind-the-scenes zoo visit
• closing surprise activity at the end of the camp
• 1 baseball cap (mandatory to wear for sun protection and to distinguish campers from visitors)

Information for Campers

On the first day, please bring the following items for registration:

• parental consent form (downloadable from the website; without it, participation in the camp is not possible)
• 1 passport-size photo (printed is acceptable)
• a change of clothes, closed shoes or rubber boots, raincoat, warm sweater, socks, mosquito and tick repellent, sunscreen

Arrival: every morning between 7:30 and 8:00 AM

Departure: between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM

The Zoo Camp entrance is through the green gate next to the ice rink.
We are unable to provide supervision for children outside the stated hours.
Campers may leave on their own only with written parental permission.

We cannot take responsibility for mobile phones or cameras.
The use of mobile phones during the camp is prohibited (except in urgent cases or with prior approval from the camp leader).
There will be an opportunity to buy souvenirs and ice cream on Friday, so it is advisable to bring pocket money for that day.

Camp Program Plan

The zoo reserves the right to modify the program (depending on group size, weather conditions, and zoo-related factors).
Each group will take part in animal feeding and enclosure cleaning. Everyone will also have a zoo show, treasure hunting in the predator enclosures, elephant feeding, and shopping opportunities.

Food Allergies

We are unable to provide special diet meals. However, campers may bring their own food from home.
This option must be indicated during registration under the meal section (“I do not require meals”).
If you choose to bring your own food, the cost of meals will be deducted from the total camp fee.

Please note that after submitting your application, no further modifications will be possible.
For additional information, please feel free to contact me on weekdays between 8:00 and 16:00.

Downloadable Materials

The parental consent form and the data protection declaration available for download here must be completed and brought with you upon registration. For data protection reasons, a child cannot start the camp without these documents. Our camps can only accept children of the appropriate age group (those who have successfully completed at least the first grade of primary school).

At the time of registration, all existing illnesses, medication allergies, disabilities, as well as any behavioural or other health-related (physical or mental) conditions of the child must be disclosed to the organizers and indicated on the declaration form. If it becomes evident to the organizers that any of the above conditions have been intentionally concealed, the child must be removed from the camp following parental notification and will not be allowed to participate for the remaining days. In such cases, no refund of the camp fee is possible.
