Jr Zoo Keepers (B)
Delaware State Parks · Brandywine Zoo, Wilmington
2027 dates not posted yet
The 2026 season ended Aug 7. Most camps post next summer's dates over the winter — we'll update this page when they do.
Ever wonder what being a zookeeper really involves? Discover how our animals are cared for, practice your husbandry skills cleaning an animal habitat, prepare animal diets, create enrichment, and visit behind-the-scenes to see how the zoo really works! *This theme is offered on multiple weeks! campers are to register for one session as both weeks include the same activities/schedule. **This camp will include hands-on activities or tours in behind-the-scenes areas that may involve dirty and smelly tasks that are often outside and in cramped spaces. These camps require campers to be able to work
Good for: Good for tweens and teens (12-14) who love animals and don't mind hands-on, sometimes messy behind-the-scenes zoo work at Brandywine Zoo.
