Conservation Heroes Summer Camp Sessions:

2025 Themes:

 EVEN WEEKS: Dirty Jobs  

The world of conservation is full of dirty jobs, but it’s also full of passionate people willing to do them in order to accomplish amazing things for our environment, communities, and animals. These Conservation Heroes are active everywhere, from the far side of the globe to right here in our backyard! We’ll learn about champions of local conservation, animal welfare, climate change and more … and maybe get a little dirty in the process.  

ODD WEEKS: ZooMysteries

Calling all sleuths! The natural world is full of mysteries, and for each one solved another dozen remain. From answering the whys and hows of crazy adaptations to looking at new animal discoveries and more, we will examine recently solved mysteries, explore those that remain unanswered and maybe discover a few more in the process! Curiosity required.    

2025 Dates: Weekly from June 16 – August 22.

REGISTER HERE – select your desired dates and register for summer camp.
