The two-day experience is designed to introduce campers to a variety of pathways within the field of wildlife conservation and effectively prepare students for internships at wildlife organizations. Campers will have opportunities to engage in daily keeper duties at Wolf Park, which can include feeding, enrichment, studying animal behavior, participating in wildlife advocacy activities, and observing staff training sessions with our ambassador animals.
