This week-long camp brings together a motivated group of keepers who help us reach a wide audience with our conservation message. Keepers carry a unique cachet with zoo guests. They inspire their public to pitch in to reduce carbon emissions. Because they’re adults, animal keepers have a different level of community involvement than our teen ambassadors.
