ROYAL OAK, Mich. – The Detroit Zoo is offering a lineup of new and past-favorite Summer Safari camps to keep kids occupied all summer long. From June 24 through Aug. 16, 2013, children ages 4 to 12 can explore the wonders of nature and wildlife with tours of the Zoo, hands-on activities, games and crafts.

Parents can choose from a variety of weeklong half-day and weeklong full-day sessions geared toward specific age groups. Weeklong morning and afternoon sessions can be paired for full-day experiences.

Prices for the Summer Safari camp sessions range from $130 to $250 for Detroit Zoological Society members and $140 to $270 for non-members.
