Has your child been asking for a new pet? Want them to be a responsible animal parent and provide them with the best care possible? Students attending this workshop will learn all of the necessary components that go in to providing our animal friends with the best home possible and best quality of life. Cage design, enrichment, food, temperature and humidity, all of the things that help animals live their best lives. Participants will make enrichment for our animal residents and they’ll even get to help re-design and set up a new exhibit for Melvin our Ornate Box Turtle! We can even help them learn what they need for whatever potential future pet they are hoping for!
These FUN and EDUCATIONAL workshops provide children with unique learning experiences. Animals, Science, Hiking, Team Building, Music, Crafts, and more! Workshop participants get to go behind the scenes and learn what it takes to become a professional animal caregiver at the Barn Nature Center! During all Workshops, students will assist the Barn Nature Center staff in performing our daily animal care routine. In addition, each workshop features interactive and experiential activities designed to engage students in the Workshop's theme. Workshops are $64 per day and run from 9am-4pm. We recommend students bring a packed lunch (snack is provided), a refillable water bottle, and closed-toe shoes!
