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 4 classes:
P2-3
P4-5
P6-7
S1-4
Children should be booked into the school year group that they are entering after the summer.
The programme runs from Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 3.30pm with early drop off available from 8.30am.
When you book one of the four available weeks in July, the date on your ticket will correspond with Monday, which means you are booked in for the whole week!
1 - 5 July
8 - 12 July
15 - 19 July
22 - 26 July
