Children between the ages 8 to 12 years will have a rare opportunity to experience up close and learn about New Mexico’s native wildlife and plants, and observe what zookeepers do on a day to day basis. Children will interact with animals in a safe and educational environment, make toys for the wildlife, observe their behavior, and get behind the scenes tours led by zookeepers.This five-day camp program runs from 9 a.m. to noon. 

The camps are taught by two certified teachers who will cover everything from zoo-keeping and bird-watching techniques, to animal enrichment projects.  Children will learn about the care and basic biology of native wildlife and plants.  This outdoor educational program will help children develop life-long values about wildlife and the environment, and learn all about the wildlife at Wildlife West Nature Park. . Daily snacks and drinks will be provided.
