When school is on break, kids can spend the day at the Saint Louis Zoo! At the Zoo's Black Friday Camp: Shop Till You Drop, campers will learn about how the products we purchase affect endangered species and habitats around the world. They will also enjoy games, tours, and a craft that shows how shopping sustainably helps save species.
Black Friday Camp at the Zoo is for kids in grades 1-5. The camp fee is $61 for Zoo members and $68 for the general public.
The camp will be held on Friday, November 29, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. After-care is available at an additional fee from 3 to 6 p.m.
