This spring will feature a mix of old favorites and new "ed-ventures".

 

MONDAY (4/20): KEEPER KAPERS

Once again, Capron Park Zoo is offering this fun favorite. Children will get "down and dirty" as they learn a bit more about what zoo keepers do everyday.

 

TUESDAY (4/21): ZOO MASTER CHEF

For this fun-in-the-commissary program kids will dig deep in the zoo's "recipe book" to re-discover and make new and different ideas for animal enrichment.

 

WEDNESDAY (4/22): SPRING FLING

Celebrate the spirit of Earth Day during this program that will get kids outside for a day of fun games and nature exploration.

Weather appropriate attire and extra clothes are REQUIRED for this program.

 

THURSDAY (4/23): LEAVE YOUR MARK

In this very hands-on program, children will take a look at soil, decomposers, animals AND plants. In the afternoon kids will get to "leave their mark" in the zoo by planning and planting a garden.

This program includes a dissection.

 

FRIDAY (4/24): KEEPER KAPERS

A great way to finish up the week is to be a part of this fun favorite one more time. Diets, exhibit cleaning and enrichment building are just some of the things planned for this day!
