You can support the Milwaukee County Zoo by camping this summer
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) - As summer approaches, people are eager to set up their tents and go camping. Most years, the Zoological Society of Milwaukee invites guests to Snooze at the Zoo , but this year officials are inviting you to Snooze FOR the Zoo at home.
Due to ongoing safety restrictions related to COVID-19, the traditional camping fundraiser at the zoo has been canceled. Whether you camp at a campground, in your backyard, or even in your living room, officials want you to still be able to take a piece of the Milwaukee County Zoo with you. Officials say Snooze FOR the Zoo is an opportunity to help the Zoological Society of Milwaukee while enjoying some of the best parts about camping.
