Do you have what it takes to work in a zoo?
During Junior Zoo Keeper Camp teens will dive into the middle of the zoo world by learning about the different aspects of being a zoo keeper. This includes building animal enrichment, improving animal enclosures, learning about different zoo careers and participating in team-building exercises. As a Rolling Hills Zoo Junior Zoo Keeper, teens will gain the knowledge and understanding of what it truly takes to care for such special and important endangered species.

Junior Zoo Keepers, while none of this is required, it is highly recommended:‍

• Wear clothing that is okay to get dirty, tennis shoes or work boots, work gloves and a hat.
• Bring an extra pair of clothes, just in case.
• Water bottle required.
• Sunscreen is recommended.

Be advised of possible changes in the weather. It could be rainy one day, but activities will not be changed unless weather is inclement.
