BEING PART OF THE ZOO TEAM
July 27-31
This week is devoted to inspiring and educating children about wildlife conservation, regardless
of their future career choice. Campers will have a great time understanding what it takes to house thousands of animals at the zoo: from planning and designing exhibits, caring for animals, landscaping, to visitor services. They will learn what it means to be a part of the zoo team and may decide to turn their interest for animals into a career.
