Emily - Learning Facilitator
Hi! My name is Emily. I am originally from the East Coast, and have a degree in Environmental Education. I also have a love for anything nature. I spend most of my days chilling with penguins and other zoo animals, walking dogs and telling jokes. I am also passionate about waste-free living to help protect the planet. However, my favorite thing to do is share the amazing wonders of the zoo with anyone and everyone I can. I cannot wait to meet all of you and have lots of summer camp fun at Woodland Park Zoo!
Jessie - Supervisor
“Aoooooo!” Hello everyone! I’m Jessie, or the Alpha Dog at camp! I have overseen camps at the zoo for six years, but I have been in the environmental education field practically since I could walk. From seals to volcanoes to seeds, cultivating love of nature is my life’s work. When I’m not at the zoo, you can find me geocaching, hiking or working in my garden. I can never pick just one favorite animal, but turkey vultures have a special place in my heart!
Kathie - Learning Facilitator
Hi there, campers! My name is Kathie and I have been working with zoo camp for over 13 years! I have always loved animals, but I truly fell in love with nature while in college at Humboldt State University in northern California. You will usually find me trying to make people giggle or jumping in puddles with campers. I believe that every day should be an adventure and I look forward to sharing a new adventure with all of you!
Margaret - Supervisor
My name is Margaret and I am “The Big Cheese!” That means I am in charge of all of the zoo's camps. I have been a supervisor at Woodland Park Zoo for over 20 years and have been in charge of summer camps since 2002. I love working with camps and creating fun, engaging opportunities for kids. When I am not in camp, I love to get out on grounds to see all our amazing animals (especially the bats and red pandas) - even after 20 years I still learn new things every day! I cannot wait to see all my returning friends this summer and to meet many new friends at camp!
