  • There is no additional cost associated with pre-registration for Zoo programs. 
  • During pre-registration you will be required to upload two important forms to share emergency contact info, pick-up permissions, and other info to help us set your child up for success!
  • Once you have completed pre-registration for the calendar year you are all set to register for your desired Zoo Camp and Youth Class sessions! You only need to complete pre-registration once per child.
  • You can review and update your forms in your CivicRec profile at any time.
