Education Program Policies

What to Wear
- Shorts and pants are recommended. Skirts and dresses are not advised as campers will get dirty!
- Labels: Please label ALL of your child’s belongings so they may be returned to the owner if lost.
- Weather: Please dress for the weather. We live in Idaho were it can snow in the morning and may be nice enough to go to the pool in the afternoon. Please send your child dressed accordingly!
- Footwear: Please make sure your child wears closed-toed shoes. No flip flops as we will be doing lots of walking and running!
- Sunscreen is needed. We spend most of our day outside so please have your child wear sun protection such as hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. Sunscreen will be available for children to re-apply during the day, or you may send your own.
Food and Water
- Half-day campers will be provided with one snack.
- Full-day campers will be provided with two snacks. Lunch is provided with a $20 camp lunch fee (sign up in advance). Or campers may bring their own lunch.
- Day classes no snack is provided, however, a class activity may involve food.
- Avoid nuts where possible: We appreciate your effort to send nut free items in an effort to keep all our campers safe.
- Water: Please send a water bottle with all campers. It gets hot in the Zoo and it is important to stay hydrated.
