Keeper-for-a-Day

Keeper for a Day — Summer 2013

For students entering 2nd-8th grade.

Join a Children's Zoo Keeper for a day of fun and hard work. You will work in an animal room or barn with a keeper and learn to handle a small mammal, bird or reptile and then present the animal to Children's Zoo visitors. You will join the keepers for staff meeting, break time and lunch. Please wear a t-shirt, khaki or jean shorts and old shoes - you will get dirty! Bring a bottle of water and a camera if you like. A Saint Louis Zoo nametag, snack and lunch will be provided.

Fee: Zoo Members $145/General Public $155
Limited to 4 participants per day (two participants per keeper).
