Volunteer in Mexico: Organizing Summer camp in the Morelia Zoo

Save to Favorites

Recruiting Organization: CADIP

The Morelia Zoo has stood out for implementing environmental education initiatives. Its main goal is to raise awareness among visitors about the importance of caring for the environment, biodiversity, and the preservation of flora and, especially, fauna. This is achieved through various activities carried out throughout the year.

Each year, the zoo organizes the famous summer camp, a space designed for children who, over the course of three weeks, participate in fun and recreational activities with the support of trained instructors. These activities not only spark curiosity but also foster empathy and love for animals and the planet. In a safe environment surrounded by greenery and a variety of species, children have fun while gaining valuable knowledge about the reality of animals and the impact we can have on their protection.

The project's goal is for volunteers to support facilitators and coordinators in running the activities of the summer camp, actively engaging with the children. Through this experience, both volunteers and children will have fun and learn together, promoting values such as empathy, respect for nature, and environmental stewardship.

The volunteers will get a training with the facilitators about conducting activities, games, dynamics, songs, etc., that promote love and empathy for nature, biodiversity and animals among the participating children. Some of the activities that the volunteers will carry out include:

• Renovating some areas of the Zoo.
• Cleaning and repainting spaces to prepare for the arrival of children to the summer camp.
• Preparing recreational activities and games with the local facilitators to engage the children during the summer camp.
• Supporting facilitators and activity coordinators in the summer camp at the Zoo while participating in activities, having fun and learning together with the children.

Project dates: July 30 - August 11, 2025
