Abilene Zoo Camp

 Abilene Zoo Summer Camp operates under a Single Skill Exemption from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.

***Please take note that the registration/camp process may look different from years past.***

• Camps are separated by age instead of grade. We suggest going by what age they are as of June 1st, however, it is under the registering adults' discretion as to which group they are registered for. Age groups for 2026 are as follows: 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-13.  
• Instead of a package, you will be registering for the camp week as one item, with the Monday of each week as the start date. The full weeks dates are listed in the title of the camp. All camps run Monday through Friday. Tickets sent through email are not needed for entry into camp.
• There will not be a separate info/medical release form sent after registration. All needed information is asked at the time of registration and is required in order to register. 
• Camps will not repeat. There are 9 different camp options to choose from. 

 Drop off will start at 7:30am on Mondays (park and walk up)

and 7:45am Tuesday-Friday (curbside drop-off)

Camp starts at 8:00am

Pickup at 1:30 pm (along the sidewalk by the bus unloading sign)
