Each SeaWorld/Busch Gardens resident camp session gives you up-close, behind-the-scenes, hands-on experiences with amazing animals, including many that are threatened or endangered. Alongside veterinarians, trainers and other animal care experts, you'll have the opportunity to feed, interact with and care for animals ranging from belugas and manatees to giraffes and great apes. Swim with dolphins, snorkel, kayak or surf and much, much more.

But it's not all about animals — it's about making friends, having fun, exploring the great outdoors, riding world-class coasters and creating lifelong memories. It's about putting your passion for wildlife to work and learning how you can make the world a better place.

Available for grades 4 through college and offered year-round, our resident camps attract animal lovers from across the U.S. and around the world.
