About RZSS Summer School
During Summer School, children discover amazing animals and cultures from around the world and connect with nature. All this learning happens through a range of fun activities such as zoo trails, games, arts and crafts, animal handling, building enrichment devices and much more! For Summer School there are four classes:
P2/3
P4–6
P7/S1
S2–4
Please note that our age brackets are different from previous years for 2025.
Children should be booked into the school year group that they are entering after the summer. Make sure you book the correct age group as any incorrectly booked places will be refunded.
The programme runs from Monday to Friday, 9am to 3:30pm with early drop off available from 8:30am.
When you book one of the four available weeks, the date on your ticket will correspond with Monday, which means you are booked in for the whole week!
30 June – 4 July
7 July – 11 July
14 July – 18 July
21 July – 25 July
The link to book will be published on 1 March 2025 at 12pm noon.
