LOUISVILLE, Ky. — LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – The Louisville Zoo is canceling their May and June summer camps to prevent further spread of the Novel Coronavirus.
Officials said those who were registered for the canceled camps will receive an email from the Zoo about refunds and additional options. The Zoo says participants can also transfer their camp registration into a donation or save it for 2021 camp programs.
Those camps sessions for pre-K through 6th grade were originally scheduled for May through August. If you’ve registered for camps in July or later, officials will contact participants with a status update by May 15.
