Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (CMZ) hosts day and overnight camps for children ages 5 to 14 during the summer months. The Summer Day Camp program teaches children about conservation and encourages understanding of the natural world. Overnight opportunities include stays in the Australian Adventure's Reinberger Homestead; stays in the Wolf Lodge, where guests can use the same tracking technology utilized by field scientists; and the African-themed "Rising Waters Safari Camp".<ref name="ReferenceC">{{Cite web |url=http://www.clemetzoo.com/education/ovrnghts/overnights.asp |title=Cleveland Metroparks Zoo - Overnights |access-date=2008-08-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081003185155/http://www.clemetzoo.com/education/ovrnghts/overnights.asp |archive-date=2008-10-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Campers at Rising Waters stay in the zoo's African Savanna for an authentic safari experience complete with animal encounters.

Other educational opportunities include the Zoo's "Keeper for a Day" program, which is open to middle school, high school, and college students who are interested in a career working with animals. Similar to a job shadowing program, program participants spend a day working with animal professionals in the Zoo's Conservation Education Division.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clemetzoo.com/education/keeper/|title=Zoo|website=Clemetzoo.com|access-date=5 August 2018}}</ref> Participants are tasked with preparing meals, cleaning enclosures, conducting training exercises, and providing animals with enrichment items to stimulate them both mentally and physically.
