Keeper for a Day Level 1 - Animal Caretaking @ Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium | Tacoma | Washington | United States

In this working program you will clean, scoop poop, and learn how to perform enrichment activities for the animals behind the scenes. These are the things that zookeepers spend a majority of their day doing! Keeper for a Day includes activities in the Rocky Shores, Arctic Tundra, and Asian Forest Sanctuary areas. Due to the hands-on nature of the course, each session is limited to six participants – please call for availability of specific dates listed.

This program is open to children ages 13-17.

Prepare for wet, dirty work! Wear closed-toed shoes (rubber boots recommended). Pull back long hair and avoid dangling jewelry. We will work mostly outside, so prepare for the weather.

Morning snack and lunch are provided as part of the program.
