About
ZooCamp includes hands-on projects where campers construct kestrel nest boxes, Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes, and bluebird nest boxes. Nest boxes for barn owls are also built by summer zoo campers as part of the program. ZooCamp registration is available for children of all ages from preschool through 12th grade.
• Ages: 3–18 years old
ZooCamp takes place at ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park. ZooAmerica is committed to the conservation of North American wildlife and habitats. ZooAmerica is an AZA-accredited zoo, accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. Barn owl chicks from the nest boxes are banded by Nate McKelvie, a federally certified bird bander. ZooCampers have participated in the bluebird nest box community service project since 2005. ZooAmerica has partnered with biologists at Fort Indiantown Gap on the eastern regal fritillary butterfly project. Barn owl nest boxes are placed in a number of local barns including many on Milton Hershey School property. Kestrel nest boxes are placed on local properties including Milton Hershey School barns. Prothonotary Warbler nest boxes are placed in wooded swamps and on PA Game Lands in Cumberland County, and bluebird nest boxes are placed throughout central PA as well as on zoo grounds.
