WCS Education
Summer Camp at the Queens Zoo (6th-8th graders)
Camp Description
Junior Scientist: Conservation Scientists
August 18 — August 22
Campers discover how WCS scientists, artists, and exhibit designers replicate the natural areas we protect around the globe in our zoo. During this week of camp, your child can learn how WCS studies these habitats and educates and inspires visitors about the animals that live there. Through engaging activities, exhibit visits, and animal demonstrations, campers will gain a new understanding of zoo exhibit design. Campers will use what they have learned to then explore some of the natural areas around the zoo and create their own model exhibit!
Campers must be ages 11-13 years entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade in the fall of 2025.
