Zookeeper For a Day
Zookeeper Program for Youth ages 6 - 16:
Does your child have a passion for animals? Would he or she love to have a chance to work behind the scenes? Then this is the opportunity they have been waiting for! Every Friday throughout the summer we will allow up to 10 children or teens to come in and be zookeepers for a couple hours prior to our Public Hours. Participants will get the opportunity to help our staff, clean animal enclosures, prepare meals and feed the animals, learn reptile husbandry and simple vet care, handle animals that the general public typically does not get to work with and receive special training on how to deal with reptiles in the wild. Zookeeper duties will vary week to week so each session will not be the same.
Cost will be $25/child. Zookeeper time frame: 2 hours. (Fridays: 10:00am - 12:00pm)
Children can book multiple sessions.
Participants will receive a Scales & Tails Zookeeper T-Shirt
