Campers gain unique insights into wildlife and conservation through direct engagement with the Bronx Zoo's extensive animal collection and expert educators.
Bronx Zoo Camp offers middle schoolers (entering 6th-8th grade) an immersive experience exploring wildlife, nature, and science. Campers engage in age-appropriate activities such as up-close animal encounters, hands-on science projects, and exhibit visits. The program emphasizes outdoor exploration within the zoo's 265 acres, fostering an understanding of animal behavior and conservation. Activities may include investigating ecosystems, participating in wildlife conservation campaigns, and learning about zoo-related careers like veterinary medicine through specialized classes. The camp aims to spark a lifelong love for animals and the natural world, equipping students with an appreciation for stewardship and scientific inquiry.
A typical day includes age-appropriate activities such as up-close animal encounters, games, hands-on science projects, art-making activities, songs, and spending the majority of time outdoors exploring the parks and exhibits.
This camp is best for young adventurers passionate about wildlife, nature, and science, who enjoy hands-on learning and outdoor exploration.
