Join us for some four-legged fun as we explore different ways dogs and humans work together. We will meet a police dog, a seeing-eye dog and 
a dogsled team. Our camp will uncover the life of a musher who will share how dog sledding makes life easer for people that live in cold climates. We'll end our adventure by actually harnessing and driving a team of dogs. Join our pack and you’ll be sure to have some dog-gone fun.

Grades 7-9: Zoo Crew – Winter Edition (Open)
Zoo Crew isn’t just a summer camp! In this camp we will focus on behind-the-scenes areas of the Zoo but we’ve changed it up from our popular summer camp. We’ll sneak behind Russia’s Grizzly Coast to see our Brown Bear and Sea Otter holding areas, visit other new areas and roll up our sleeves to take part in some new activities.
