Animal Explorer Camp

The Animal Explorer Camp provides an intimate and intensive opportunity for middle school students in the 6th, 7th & 8th grade to discover the amazing animal world with two of Chicago’s greatest animal welfare organizations- Lincoln Park Zoo & The Anti-Cruelty Society.

Campers will explore career opportunities by interacting with zoo keepers, researchers, kennel attendants, veterinary staff and a humane investigator! We will visit the veterinary clinic at the animal shelter and go on "behind-the-scenes tours" at the zoo. Other highlights include watching gorilla trainings, learning about the zoo’s conservation program, participating in a shelter scavenger hunt and experiencing live animal interactions. (Campers will be given discounts at the gift shops.)

Capacity: min 15 campers, max 25 per session

Cost: $240 for LPZ members & ACS adopters; $300 for non-members & non-adopters
