Overview
During Virtual Spring Break Camp, Lincoln Park Zoo educators will lead campers through a variety of activities that explore the fun and fascinating world of animals. Each camp day is independent and has a different theme, so campers can choose which days to attend.
All campers will explore the same themes each day but will participate in different hands-on activities appropriate to their age.
