Ever wonder how places like zoos and aquariums take care of their animals? Discover how animals are cared for through exhibit design, daily care (just like your cat or dog), training, veterinary care and more! Through hands-on activities, crafts, games and more we will explore the ways in which we can make sure that all of our animals receive the best care possible.

This camp is a drop off opportunity for kids 7+ years old. Kids may bring a snack and water bottle with them.

About the Instructor: Lauren Fauth joined the National Aquarium in May 2012 and currently holds the position of Manager of Education Programs, she oversees school programs both in the Aquarium building and at schools, homeschool programming, teacher professional development and summer camp programs. Lauren’s passion is to bring students into new experiences to foster a connection with the marine (or terrestrial) world. She is always looking for new ways to provide opportunities to both students and teachers to become engaged with the outdoors. Prior to coming to the National Aquarium, she worked in North Carolina at two of the North Carolina State Aquariums where she gained her love of teaching environmental science. She also works/volunteers at Nixon Park Nature Center, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and Make A Wish. When not working, Lauren can be found hanging out with her husband, daughter, and dogs (both resident and foster) most of the time exploring nature!
