SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Adventure Camps encourage a lifelong passion for wildlife. The programs offer something no other camp experience can - the chance to work alongside the best animal care experts in the world for hands-on experience with animal trainers, veterinarians and animal care staff.

Adventure Campers at Busch Gardens get more than just an awesome summer experience. They get the satisfaction of helping conserve the planet.

As a Busch Gardens Adventure Camp counselor, Katie Timko saw first-hand the bond between zookeepers and the animals in their care. Now, she's making her own connections with some of the world's largest land mammals, working with the elephants at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
