"I'm going to be sad about leaving camp, I've had so many great experiences with animals, learning new things every day. I'll be back next year."

Week 8 - Day 4 - Vietnam

"Today we made mini gasifires to try and represent the real ones. we used a big juice can as the cowling a soup can as the reactor and a tuna can as the ash tray. our team had the longest living fire with almost 26 minutess. we had 17 holes in the reactor and 6 in the other cans. but we all had ups and downs."

"Today was totally wicked we focused on Vietnam and went to Toyota Elephant Passage. It's really nice. We also made mini gasifires it was awesome!"

"We made our own gasifires. the zoo has its own gasifier that will produce 20% of the zoo's energy needs. Being able to see what it does was really cool.

Denver Zoo Camera Traps

As a part of the theme of the Wild About Conservation summer camp, we thought it would be fun to install camera traps in zoo exhibits to capture some cool images of our zoo animals. Throughout the week, campers will be checking in on the footage the cameras captured. We can't wait to see what our furry and feathered family members are up to when we aren't watching! Enjoy!
