Come and Get Your L ve

This hands-on teen career exploration program focuses on topics such as wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, animal husbandry, careers, research, wildlife biology, and more!

Classes include animal ambassador appearances, guest speakers from professionals in the field, hands-on activities, digital resources, interconnected lessons, and more.

There are two different sessions to choose from, both having their own unique topics. Both sessions will hold class Monday-Friday, from 9:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

JRC: Animal Husbandry Focus (July 10 -14) is a hands-on opportunity that focuses on the work that goes into a career working with or caring for animals. This experience explores topics such as enclosure design, animal needs, training, diet prep, and other aspects that go into an animal care occupation, like at a sanctuary, zoological setting, or right here at our wildlife rehabilitation clinic! Students will even have the chance to design an enrichment project for an animal.

JRC: Citizen Science Focus (July 17 – 21) is a hands-on program designed to inspire teens to take conservation into their own hands! We will spend the week exploring the world around us and contributing to real world science as we do it. You can expect special guests, interactive projects, and activities inside and outside the classroom. You provide the curiosity, and we’ll provide the rest!

Cost for each summer program is $250 per camper with discounts available for additional siblings as well as referral discounts.
