Do virtual campers need to be supervised? Do parent's/guardian's need to attend?
We are designing the camps with the mindset that we are watching all campers for the 3-hours. We are taking into account things like having parents/guardians pack a snack or make sure any materials are ready for that day's camp activities. We double-check these during that morning's or afternoon's camper check-in, so you have an opportunity to grab things if you forgot.
This being said because we are not there physically if the child leaves the space for any reason we can not control that. We are happy to notify you with a call or text if that happens. Parents are welcome to watch if that is what you prefer.

Refund Policy
You will be refunded your entire camp registration fee if you cancel at least 2 weeks before the camp. If you cancel after that or fail to show for your camp, there will be no refund. You may only attend the camps you have registered for.
Is there a camp t-shirt?
Seasonal camps do not include a T-shirt.
Summer camps include one T-shirt. When purchasing summer camps, you will be asked for the camper's shirt size. Shirts will be given out at camp check-in.
Waitlist Procedure
If a camp is sold out and you would like to be added to our waitlist please email Amanda (amanda.helms@nczoo.org) with the camp title, age group, date, and number of tickets requested. We will notify you as spots open.
What if a camper needs medication or an EpiPen?
Zoo staff are not allowed to administer ANY medications except for an EpiPen. If your camper must take medications, they will have to be able to take them on their own.
What if there is inclement weather?
All camps are rain or shine. In the event of thunder and lightning, the camp activities will be adjusted for safety. If the camp is canceled, you will be notified.
