Zoo Atlanta's Fall Safari Camp runs Monday, October 12 through Friday, October 16, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for children ages 5 to 11.

The week is themed Skeleton Stories, a look at the different ways animals hold their shapes and how skeletons matter in wildlife healing. Campers get zoo explorations, up-close animal encounters, STEAM projects, hands-on science activities and environmental games, then finish the week by presenting on the animal with the most fascinating skeleton.

Cost is $400 for the week, or $350 for members, and extended care is available for an added fee. Registration is handled through Zoo Atlanta, and the program runs rain or shine.
