Does your child want to be the next David Attenborough, Jane Goodall, or a future wildlife scientist? The North Carolina Zoo’s Wild Animal Science Camps offer a fun and educational opportunity for young, budding scientists to learn more about conservation and wildlife science! Hands-on activities mimic the fieldwork conservation scientists conduct in the wild and offer a unique opportunity to meet Zoo scientists making a difference for wildlife. Campers will leave this special educational experience with new insights into conservation and animal behavior research.
