Travel farther. Learn deeper. Discover your place in conservation.
Conservation can't always be taught from a desk. Teen field studies give high school students the opportunity to travel with the Columbus Zoo's Conservation Education team to extraordinary places where wildlife, science, and conservation come to life.
Through immersive field experiences, high school students explore diverse ecosystems, meet conservation professionals, participate in hands-on learning, and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges facing wildlife around the world. Whether snorkeling alongside coral reefs in the Bahamas, studying bison on the Yellowstone landscape, or joining future expeditions, each program offers an unforgettable opportunity to experience conservation where it happens.
Along the way, students build confidence, develop leadership skills, explore potential careers in conservation, and discover how their own actions can help protect wildlife and wild places for generations to come.
