Full-day camp for pre-teens and teens ages 9 - 13.

DETAILS

Summer Camp

Grizzly Bear curricula take youth to the next level of exploration. Each curriculum has a unique theme based on real-world conservation challenges and aligns with Next Generation Science Standards and youth development best practices. Throughout the week campers will learn about experts-in-the-field, get hands-on, go beyond the zoo in understanding wildlife conservation and craft their unique solutions.

*Please note not all curriculums take campers off zoo grounds.

Summer Camp 2023 Themes

The Art of the Animal

Animals have been the subjects of artists around the globe since before recorded history. In this camp, we’ll explore a different art medium each day of the week, with a throughline of animals as our subjects and muses.

This Camp is a DISASTER!

The natural world is full of disasters—fires, floods, earthquakes, and so on. But some of those disasters are necessary to animals’ survival! In other cases human activity has made those disasters more common--maybe too common. This camp explores how those disasters happen, how they affect animals (for better or for worse), and how we can respond.
