Camp Teen Volunteer 2025: Session B
Lincoln Park Zoo | Education Department
Session B: July 15-August 15
Camp Teen Volunteers inspire children to learn about, love, and protect animals and the environment while assisting with running Conservation Camp, open to grades PreK–5. Through observation, training, professional development, and guidance from counselor mentors, teens will gain valuable skills as they feed their own love for animals and work with young learners.
Camp Teen Volunteers assist counselors with the setup and takedown of activities, participate fully in activities and exploration, and create moments of fun for campers. Teens in this position can expect a dynamic day full of movement in a variety of weather conditions.
This program is looking for teens with a positive attitude who enjoy working with elementary-aged children and are flexible to the ever-changing environment a zoo camp has to offer.
Teens who become Camp Teen Volunteers will receive service hours and participate in weekly scheduled professional development. They will also be invited to Teen Bonding Nights and have an end-of-session Recognition Night to celebrate their work with their families.
