Summer Camp 2026: One Health (Grades 6–8)

This three-day camp for students entering grades 6–8 explores the One Health principle: the health of people, animals, and the environment is interconnected. Campers investigate actions that can support a healthier planet through animal-ambassador encounters, hands-on activities, and behind-the-scenes experiences.

The group is limited to 20 campers with two or three adult instructors and one or two approved adult volunteers. Campers remain supervised throughout the program and divide their time between zoo grounds and air-conditioned classrooms. Close animal experiences depend on animal-care and group-safety needs.
