Apple Valley, MINN – February 9, 2011 – Give your children an experience they'll never forget - a wild, week-long (or single day) adventure at the Minnesota Zoo, one of the most popular camp programs in the Twin Cities attended by over 3,500 students each summer! Online registration begins this week @ mnzoo.org

From May 31 - September 2, two-year-olds to 12th graders will meet animals, make new friends and have a ton of fun while learning at the Minnesota Zoo. Crafts, educational explorations, exclusive tours and up-close animal encounters teach children more about conservation and the environment. Camps are determined by the grade a child will enter in the Fall of 2011.
