Join us for an in-depth look at what zookeepers do on a daily basis by spending one week of your summer with us. Students will work directly with animals in the Farms, develop public speaking skills, and explore all areas of the Zoo. This program runs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon for one week.

Member Registration  Non-Member Registration

 

With a guardian and before their scheduled session, each registered student must view an orientation video. A link to the video will be provided in an informational email once registration is complete.  The email will be sent to you from the education department and is separate from your payment confirmation and program ticket. The information email will also include all paperwork that must be filled out prior to the beginning of the session. Students must bring this paperwork with them on the first day of class in order to participate.

Students who fail to bring their paperwork or who have not yet watched the orientation video will be charged a $15 individual orientation fee. Students may not begin participation in class until they have watched the orientation video and submitted all paperwork. Students will not make up class time missed for their individual orientation session.

Sedgwick County Zoo will follow current Sedgwick County and/or Sedgwick County Zoo face mask protocols. Students should bring a face mask each day in case it is needed. Students may be asked to complete a short wellness questionnaire and temperature check prior to entering class.

Each person who attends class must have a ticket. Space is limited. Tickets will be scanned at the door on the first day of class. All classes take place rain or shine. All reservations are final. Tickets may not be copied or resold and may be used only once. No refunds; tickets will not be replaced if lost, stolen or unused.
