About
Safari Camp takes place within Denver Zoo and is part of the zoo’s education offerings that also include Nature Play camps, school field trips, and Zoo-to-You classroom visits. Campers are in a setting that includes an 80-acre campus with more than 2,500 animals that serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts. Safari Camp is open to campers of all abilities, and children with varying needs are able to attend in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Ages: 5–15 years old
Safari Camp is part of a broader organization whose mission is stated as “Inspiring Communities to Save Wildlife for Future Generations.” Denver Zoo’s education and outreach teams serve learners throughout metropolitan Denver, and its global Field Conservation and Emergency Wildlife Response teams have worked for more than two decades to protect species threatened by human encroachment, habitat loss, and catastrophic events. Denver Zoo participates in conservation projects in Colorado and worldwide and is described as one of Colorado’s and Denver’s most vital cultural and community cornerstones.
Safari Camp allows campers to attend with a full-time care provider when needed, with special arrangements made several weeks in advance for security purposes, and an adult caregiver may attend at no charge after undergoing a background check. If a child requires emergency, prescription, or over-the-counter medication during camp, a parent or guardian and the child’s physician must submit a Medication Administration Permission Form two weeks before the first day of camp. Any medication for a chronic illness such as asthma, allergies, or diabetes must be accompanied by a Care Plan written and signed by the child’s physician, and upon review of camper forms it may be necessary to meet with the parent or guardian to develop a Health Plan.
Safari Camp is offered by an organization with a philanthropy and development team that includes roles such as Philanthropy Coordinator, Corporate Partnerships Manager, Philanthropy Services & Database Manager, Corporate & Individual Giving Manager, Campaign Director, Benefit Fulfillment and Events Coordinator, Senior Director of Philanthropy, Gift Planning & Major Gifts Manager, Donor Experience Director, Annual Fund Manager, Foundation Partnerships Manager, Campaign Coordinator, and Philanthropy Services Coordinator.
