Join us for Winter Zoo Camp: Training 101 on 12/30/25.

This topic is geared toward campers ages 8 to 12 and is meeting in the Tamarin Tree House classroom. 

Open... Sit... Paw! We train our animals to do all sorts of things that help us take better care of them. Join us as we discover the basics of behavior science from a few of our trainers here at the zoo. We will put our new knowledge to the test to train some animals ourselves!

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. 

Winter Camp is single-day registration. You can register for all 5 days, or just pick your favorite days or topics.  

Camp drop off is from 8:00 to 8:30 am. Camp activities are from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.. Pick up is from 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm.
