Campers Entering or In High School

Campers in this age group have two options at ZooCamp! Chose your adventure from one of the camps below... or both!

Zoo Crew
Experience the demands of being a zookeeper in this dynamic, hands-on camp. Each day we explore a different aspect of modern zoo keeping including cleaning an exhibit, designing enrichment for captive animals, learning about veterinary medicine, and training exercises for wild animals. If you think you might enjoy working with animals, this camp is for you.

Full day: 9:00am - 4:00pm

Fees:
$265 (Members)
$285 (Non-Members)

Love animals and kids? We need your help! Come to camp as a Teen Assistant and spend two weeks playing with kids and helping lead activities while earning community service hours. This program requires participants to fill out an application, provide a letter of reference, attend a training orientation, and participate in two weeks of camp. Deadline for applications are June 1 for Session 1-3 and July 6 for Sessions 4-8.

Times:
Full day: 9:00am - 4:00pm
