Sequoia Park Zoo Opens Registration for April 13-17 Cub Club, Junior Zookeepers

Sequoia Park Zoo has opened registration for Spring Break Zoo Camp scheduled April 13–17, 2026, offering two age-targeted sessions: Cub Club for 5–7-year-olds and Junior Zookeepers for 8–10-year-olds, according to a zoo announcement on its website. The zoo’s public contact information listed on its site is 3414 W Street, Eureka, CA 95503 and phone (707) 441-4263.

Program copy archived on the zoo’s site describes Cub Club – Redwood Adventures as an outdoor week that will “explore the Zoo, Redwood Sky Walk and surrounding redwood forest through lessons, games, crafts and hikes,” and presents Jr. Zookeepers – Secrets of the Forest as a week to “explore the redwood world around us and discover what secrets remain to be discovered.” Those program descriptions align with the site’s Conservation & Education news entries and imagery captioned “Spring Break Zoo Camp registration flyer featuring Zoo Campers watching a climbing demonstration.”

Dates and scheduling show discrepancies across sources. An archived Sequoia Park Zoo page lists a prior camp week as April 15–19, 2024 with daily hours of 10am–3pm and pricing at $150 for non-members and $135 for members; an Instagram post referenced a themed session, “Expedition: Worldwide Adventure,” running March 16–20 in an unspecified year. The Original Report accompanying the zoo announcement explicitly states April 13–17, 2026 as the upcoming session; newsroom verification by phone or email is advised given the archived 2024 page and the undated social post.

Municipal summer programming from the City of Eureka provides local context and a pricing comparison: Camp Sequoia, the city’s outdoor summer day camp that takes weekly field trips to Sequoia Park Zoo and the Redwood Sky Walk, lists hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and fees of $150 per week for Eureka residents and $160 per week for non-residents for summer 2025. The municipal site also details weekly field-trip logistics including a weekly roller-skating meet-up at the Eureka Municipal Auditorium and a roughly 25-minute Humboldt Transit Authority bus ride for campers.

Operationally, that means families weighing the zoo’s Spring Break session against municipal camps should note the archived zoo schedule (10am-3pm) is substantially shorter than Camp Sequoia’s 8am-5pm day and that the archived zoo fee structure includes a $15 member discount. The zoo’s archived registration call-to-action reads “Register for Zoo Camp here!” and the site lists an “Email Zoo Info / Contact the Zoo” prompt for inquiries.

If the April 13–17, 2026 dates are the current offering, the sessions will place young campers in close-up programs tied to the Redwood Sky Walk and the surrounding redwood forest; confirm current times, fees and theme names by contacting Sequoia Park Zoo at (707) 441-4263 or via the zoo’s contact link on its website.
