Teen Summer Camp: Zoo Careers

August 7 |
Is your camper a budding zookeeper, veterinarian, or conservation scientist? What about an artist, teacher, or math whiz who loves birds and wildlife? A successful zoo needs all of these people and more! In this camp, your teen will learn about the wide world of zoo careers, and find out how a future working for wildlife could be for them! Throughout the week, campers will meet Aviary experts from a variety of departments, learn about animal training with classroom visits from Animal Ambassadors, explore habitats to learn how they are designed to meet both animal and human needs, AND try their hand at making crafts our birds will love to explore with their beaks and claws!
