The Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington offers summer programs for kids from the age of 4 to 17. Each week is for a specific group, and the activities offered vary from age group. All campers get time for animal interactions and camp games and learn about wildlife conservation, zoo life, and animals in general.

The youngest group, with four and five-year-old campers, learns about the five senses and how humans and animals use them to explore the world around us.

On the other hand, the oldest group of campers spends the week focusing on the possibility of becoming a zoo keeper and what that might look like for them. They can handle certain designated zoo animals and assist in caring for and feeding them under careful supervision.

Parents just need to worry about sending their kids with lunch. If you're a Brandywine Zoo member, you receive a discount on all camp weeks.
