Conservation Heroes Summer Camp Sessions:

2026 Themes:

Even Weeks: The Cultural Climate (Change)

In today’s society, we have a number of resources to spread information to the public. Having multiple outlets can help us learn about many things including conservation! This week we will focus on how people get the message out about conservation in a variety of ways, including designing and marketing our own conservation events!

Odd Weeks: Beyond the Panda

Why does it seem that some animals get more than their share of conservation spotlight? This week we will explore the different reasons why certain species are becoming endangered and how we can spark change to protect them. From habitat loss to pollution and human impact, we’re diving beyond the panda to become advocates for all animals in need!
