A wild nature exploration for children entering grades K through 5.

Just because it's winter doesn't mean you need to hibernate—the National Zoo's animals are ready to romp and we are ready for you!

Snow Safari campers at the Zoo will explore the lives, habitats, and conservation of animals around the world. Each four-day session includes exciting hands-on activities, craft projects, and science experiments. Participants will also meet Zoo experts, go on exclusive tours, and experience private animal encounters. (Please note: There is never direct contact with the animals).

Join us as we take part in a new winter extravaganza!


All confirmation materials will be sent via email upon registration.
