The Dakota Zoo Junior Zookeeper Camps are for children ages 8-12.  Camps are designed to teach youngsters about animals and help to develop a caring attitude about nature. It provides a fun, hands-on experience, while giving an in-depth look at the many aspects of zookeeping.  Campers work on projects to enrich the lives of  zoo residents, go behind the scenes to help prepare diets and learn about animal health care, attend species-specific presentations done by our zookeepers, and much, much more!  The various activities will leave participants with a well-rounded knowledge of animals, the role of zoos in wildlife conservation, and the daily duties of a zookeeper...along with plenty of fun, games, and activities to keep the interest level up.  Cost is $65 per child for non-members and $60 for members for the five day camp. The two day afternoon camp takes place in the winter, and is $35 per child for non-members and $30 for members.  Pre-registration is required at least 7 days before the date of the event, as these popular camps fill up quickly.
