Explore Zoology

And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” (Genesis 1:24)

Zoology is the study of animals and their behaviors. From cute little hedgehogs to massive camels, Explore Zoology offers an in-depth look at a variety of animals in God’s creation. Learn about animal kinds and study animal behavior through close-up animal encounters with our trained zoologists.

Open to students ages 11 to 18.

The Explore Days program is on a four-year rotating schedule. Each Explore Day includes a minimum of three hands-on, interactive sessions. The yearly topics are provided in the schedule below.
