This is your chance to take back childhood (for one day, at least) as you enjoy some nostalgic and new summer camp activities at the Zoo. Hang out with an opossum, snuggle a baby goat, make some epic fridge-worthy arts and crafts, and go behind-the-scenes!

Join us on Saturday, July 25 for Camp Nostalgia. Take a fun walk down memory lane and experience all those classic camp feels!

Celebrate World Ocean Day with CPZ! Join us Friday, June 5 from 2-4pm for free kids activities! This event is hosted by our 2026 Zoo Teens program, presented by Franklin Pest Solutions in collaboration with CPZ Pathways Programs, presented by Lafayette Noon Optimists.

Learning about wildlife conservation and animal care is only part of what a Zoo Teen achieves with a summer at CPZ. They also build skills in sharing their passion for wildlife through interpretive chats and program delivery. Our 2026 class of Zoo Teens is ready to rock and roll this Friday!

Big thanks to our sponsors for their generous support!
