🎭🎨 Let creativity shine this summer!

In partnership with WhyArts Inc., AAP is excited to offer Let it Shine: Summer Art Camp, where campers will explore both performance and visual arts through movement, acting, painting, drawing, and imagination-filled fun.

📅 July 20–24
✨ Two sessions available:
🖌 Ages 8–12 | 9–11 AM
🎬 Ages 13–17 | 1–3 PM

Registration opens Friday, June 5th at 12 PM (noon). Space is limited!

SPOTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!

‼️PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING‼️
This is a night for people on the autism spectrum and their loved ones who may not get to go to the Zoo other times of the year due to a number of different factors such as sensory differences. Please only sign up if you are part of this community, as it could be taking away the opportunity for another family who only gets to go during these events.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of our recent zoo events—and a high number of no-shows after registration—we’re continuing with registration limits and a small fee to help ensure spots are reserved by those who truly plan to attend. Our goal is to make sure as many families as possible can enjoy this special experience together!

‼️PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING ‼️
Important details:
- $2 per ticket
- Please only register for your family. If you are planning to attend with another family as a group, have them register separately.
- This is an after-hours event — some animals may not be visible due to their natural sleep cycles
- The Splash Pad will remain open if weather permits — if there is lightening detected within a 20-mile radius, all water features will be shut off for safety.
- Concessions will be available
- Wheelchairs/strollers are available for rental

Let’s make it a fun and inclusive night for the autism community!
