Homeschool Day: Animals in Human Care & Wildlife Jobs

This event is no longer on sale.

Wednesday December 13

9:30 AM  –  11:30 AM

Registration Instructions: Please use the adult chaperone's name for all registrants (adult and child). Children's name and age can be entered under 'Additional Information'. 

 

In this Homeschool Day we will learn about the animal ambassadors and how people care for animals in captivity. We will discuss the differences between sanctuaries, rehabilitation, zoos, and rescue programs. Your student will also discover how we enrich the lives of the animal ambassadors and create their own enrichment items and score them. Wildlife keepers aren’t the only jobs with wildlife, however. We will also explore other wildlife jobs such as wildlife researchers, park rangers, and environmental educators!
