SeaWorld/Busch Gardens Adventure Camps
I fondly remember my mom taking me to SeaWorld San Antonio when I was a little girl. I’d hang out for what seemed like hours at the Dolphin Cove, feeding and petting the dolphins. Since I’m thousands of miles away now, I don’t get to visit as much as I’d like, but did have the chance to take my daughter to SeaWorld when she was toddler. She fell in love with Shamu, and to this day, still gets excited when she sees a SeaWorld commercial!
Did you know that each summer Busch Gardens holds Adventure Camps at their Sea World and Busch Gardens facilities?
Attended by teens from all over the country, for some participants the camp experience goes beyond just a great memory, becoming the inspiration for lifelong appreciation for wildlife, or maybe even a career in animal science. In fact, more than 150 former campers are now employed in the zoological departments at SeaWorld and Busch Gardens!
For those interested in attending camp this summer, Busch Gardens has released a series of videos in which trainers who got their start at Adventure Camp share their experiences and tips for working with animals. You can find them on the SeaWorld-Busch Gardens Animals YouTube Channel. This one of them:
Doesn’t that just make you want to send your kids to an Adventure Camp RIGHT NOW?! Too bad mine still have to wait a few more years!

i watched Killer Whale vs. Great White and the guy places his bet on the killer whale
We watched the working with animals video. We recently went to Sea World and my son found the trainers jobs fascinating.
I watched Killer Whale vs. Great White. The Killer Whale is so cute, I think he can only hunt so well in groups though…
