Our special school holiday Junior Wildlife Keeper program is an insight into learning about our unique animals and the level of care involved in keeping these animals in good health. The recipient will perform special duties helping to care for our Animals, and get a real feel for being a Wildlife Keeper! They will also make and learn about enrichment to stimulate natural behaviours and will see for themselves the amazing skills our animals have developed to live in their environment.
The Junior Wildlife Keepers will engage in a variety of keeper based activities
• Feeding and cleaning
• Preparing and giving enrichment
• Monitoring and research

No two days are the same!

This is a "Drop and go" type program, - if you feel the child might need extra support - please have a look at our Inclusive Heroes program.

Junior Wildlife Keeper
includes
1) The program itself - 2 hours starting at 9.30 am.
2) A special Urimbirra Tshirt (pick up on the day)
3) Park entry - they are welcome to stay longer - with a family member (paid separately) after the program

Please ensure the child is wearing comfortable clothes - that are weather appropriate - and covered in shoes (boots or sneakers) that are able to get dirty! They will need to bring a hat, water, sunscreen and food for morning tea. They usually build up an appetite! Looking forward to meeting you all, I am excited to be able to give them an insight into our wonderful, unique Wildlife.
