Join us this summer for an exciting four-day course at London Zoo! Across the week, students will find out all about the different types of jobs that exist within the Zoo, from zoo-keeper to graphic designer, whilst working in groups to design the perfect animal enclosure. 

Each day will include hands-on activities and classroom learning, giving participants a taste of zoo life as they learn how London Zoo cares for their 10,000 animals, and why these species need our protection. From muck outs to feeding time, participants will get a flavour of the variety of different tasks and jobs that exist at ZSL, with the week culminating in groups presenting their enclosure design to each other. 

• Age range: 12-15
• Dates: Monday 28th - Thursday 31st July 2025
