Camps

Become the next generation of wildlife advocates! Wolf Park's youth programs focus on conservation learned through hands-on activities and personal connections with wild animals. We offer programs throughout the year for grades K-12.

SUMMER PROGRAMS

Summer Science Camps are a fantastic opportunity for young wildlife enthusiasts. Small, grade-based groups offer campers a personalized learning experience as they play games, make crafts, and meet our ambassador animals. Each camp is centered around a unique theme that will inspire campers to continue to learn and develop their passion for wildlife.

Summer Art & Enrichment Camps are perfect for creative young people who want to explore their love of nature through art and hands-on activities. In the two day camps, kids will embrace their artistic skills in a variety of nature and conservation themed art projects as they learn about the value of environmental enrichment from our ambassador animals.
