Just recently I went with 21 other kids from my school down to Florida. We went to a camp at Busch Gardens. If you like animals and ever get the opportunity to do this, it is most definitely amazing and totally worth the money.
We went behind the scenes and worked with the keepers, we helped them clean animal cages before the park opened and hand fed animals like giraffes and sloths. One day we went over to Sea World, we saw Shamoo and the dolphin shows and feed sting rays and dolphins. In our free time, we wondered around with friends going on rides and getting henna tattoos. We stayed at Mzinka Lodge at Busch Gardens, though we were so busy that we didn't spend much time there. The whole camp is made to help give kids experience in zoology is they are interested in going into the field. I loved the experience and think I may go back by myself next summer.
Are you interested in animals? Would you want to be a keeper? Are you interested in behavioral sciences? Have you/ would you take the opportunity to do something up close like this?
The picture is of me petting the animal ambassador armadillo.
