Young Conservationists Virtual Summer School

If you know someone interested in a career in conservation, then our Young Conservationists VIRTUAL Summer School is perfect! 

Delivered entirely online, our virtual summer school has been developed for those aged between 12-17 years, who are interested in a career working with animals, conservation, research or veterinary medicine.

During the week, young people will be immersed into the world of Chester Zoo through a combination of group activities, virtual behind the scenes tours, Q+A sessions with zoo experts, workshops and theory sessions.

This is a great opportunity for young people to get together and learn new skills, as they explore the work that goes on around the zoo!
