ZOO KEEPER FOR A DAY

The Zoo Keeper For A Day program is super exciting, and great for any defenders that want to work their way up to becoming a zoo keeper or animal care taker! The program is simple: your child will be dropped off here at the Critter Squad Wildlife Defender HQ and will be given a 1 hour time slot to join our animal keepers as they do their daily animal work. Everyday is different in the Zoo Keeper for a day program, so you never know what exciting fun stuff you are going to do!
