Behavior Policy:

The Zoo is committed to ensuring that all children who attend Zoo programs are provided an atmosphere

where they can learn together free of harassment or intimidation. Fun and safety are only possible when

there are behavior guidelines that all campers agree to follow. You and your child are advised to inform

any member of the Zoo staff of any conduct that is offensive or that is in contradiction to the Zoo’s

commitment to a harassment-free environment.

All participants are expected to show respect for teachers, fellow students, themselves, Zoo staff and

guests, and facilities. Disruptive or dangerous behaviors and physical aggression are not acceptable. Our

teachers are professionals and they will use sound, positive management tools within their classes. If any

student does not respond to these measures, the student will be escorted to the office for a time out. If the

problem behavior persists, we will communicate with the parents or guardians and the participant may be

removed from the program with no refund of program fees.

By participating in a Zoo program, you agree to the terms of the Behavior Policy.

Photo Release

During the course of our programs, we may take pictures of your child or your child’s crafts or artwork,

which could be used for publicity purposes. By signing below, you authorize the Zoological Society of San

Diego (ZSSD) and its official representatives to use, without obligation, photos or motion pictures of you,

your child(ren), and/or their work for any and all publicity, publications, and advertising purposes that the

ZSSD may designate.

Carpool and Safety Information

We encourage carpooling for your convenience and for the environment! If you carpool with friends,

please communicate clearly to your child who will be picking him/her up each day. If there are custody

questions or circumstances that we need to be aware of, please notify the office in writing indicating the
