Jr. Zookeeper Club at Stone Zoo

Join us this fall for Jr. Zookeeper club, offered in October, November & December! Each standalone Jr. Zookeeper Club session will focus on a different theme, and participants will get the opportunity to learn about the animals in our Zoo and what it takes to work with them. These programs are offered to children ages 11-13.

Taught by Zoo educators, classes include hands-on activities, discussion, animal encounters and behind-the-scenes experiences. Each program includes progressive program topics focused on teaching students about working with Zoo animals and what paths they may take to work at the Zoo one day!
