Teenage Animal Club

For young animal enthusiasts who want to learn more, do more, and get closer to animals, our Teenage Animal Club Summer Camp is the perfect opportunity.

Running during the summer holidays, this exciting programme consists of five sessions delivered across one week, taking place from 27th to 31st July, 9:15am – 12:15pm each day, giving teenagers a deeper, more immersive experience than a standard visit.

Designed especially for teens with a passion for animals and conservation, this fun and interactive camp offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to care for animals—while building confidence, knowledge, and practical skills along the way.

What’s Included?

Led by our experienced animal team, each session is packed with hands-on activities and exclusive learning opportunities. Depending on the day and the animals involved, activities may include:

  • Learning about animal behaviour and welfare
  • Preparing food and enrichment activities
  • Helping with basic husbandry tasks
  • Observing training and enrichment sessions
  • Meeting a variety of animals and learning about their individual personalities 

Every session is designed to be educational, engaging, and inspiring, with animal welfare always the top priority.

For teenagers who are still exploring their future, this camp also provides valuable insight into potential career paths within animal care and conservation.
