Chintimini Wildlife Center Summer Camps offer immersive educational experiences that surround kids in the richness of wildlife! These themed events provide a detailed exploration of the topics at hand. Our campers receive instruction from our experienced Education Staff members, and get to experience a variety of activities, ecosystems, and animals! See below for a list and details of 2026’s dates.

All dates are from 9:00 am (drop-off beginning at 8:45 am) – 3:00 pm (pick-up ending at 3:15 pm), see below for information about aftercare. We cannot accommodate early drop-offs.

We are able to offer aftercare from 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm, at the additional cost of $25 per day. Please note that you must sign your child up for aftercare prior to the week of camp–any late sign-ups will incur an additional $10 per hour on top of the regular fee. This is so we are able to ensure the correct educator to student ratios and plan staff time accordingly.

You can email us at (education@chintiminiwildlife.org) if you have any other questions or concerns.

If you plan to send multiple children to the same camp week, each child must be registered separately.

Please review our Youth Education Program policies prior to registration.

Waiting List: If a program is full, please call or email us to be added to the waitlist.
