Zoo School programs are designed for children who can remain in a group setting without adult involvement. In addition to age requirements, campers must be toilet trained and able to use public restrooms without assistance.
Our goal is to set up all students and staff for success. To help us provide the best possible experience, please inform us of all special considerations prior to participation. This may include information on allergies, accessibility concerns, behavioral, psychological or emotional conditions as well as any other special needs. Please contact us prior to registration at conniek@wacotx.gov or 254-750-8467 to make an accommodation request. We are happy to work with households to make Zoo School accessible to campers with varying needs. We are, however, unable to provide one-on-one support or supplementary services.
Age Groups:
Age requirements are not negotiable and are strictly enforced. Students must fall within the specified age category on the first day of the Zoo School session they are attending. Each topic is developed with age-appropriate techniques and measures.
