This Spring Break Zoo Camp is geared toward campers 9 to 12 years old and is based in the Tamarin Treehouse Classroom. Campers enjoy daily animal experiences or behind-the-scenes opportunities while facing scientific challenges that put the campers in the shoes of keepers, vets, or zoo administrators and motivate campers to seek the information to solve real-life problems. Campers leave Zoo Camp with a greater awareness for the individual animals at the zoo and how to help animals in the wild, all while building their science skills and making new friends.
Zoo Boot Camp
Spend a week to see what it’s like in the boots of a Henry Vilas Zoo staff member! We’ll learn what it takes to care for all the animals at the zoo, from their diet and nutrition, to their training and enrichment, to their veterinary care. We’ll even take on the challenge of designing our own zoo! Lace up your boots and join us!
Camp drop off is from 8:00 to 8:30 am. Camp activities are from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. Pick up is from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm.
