The Junior Animal Care Keepers class is a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes at The Connecticut Audubon Society and experience direct interaction with our resident animals. The six-week program, for 6th and 7th graders, provides the chance to study, while caring for, the non-releasable animals who call the Audubon Society’s Center at Fairfield their home.
This is a hands-on class that involves working with CAS staff to maintain healthy animal living environments. In carrying out care and feeding responsibilities, students receive an overview of our live animal collection which includes birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. From glamorous to gross, learn about animal husbandry care and individual diets while cleaning cages and tanks, and preparing and offering food. Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
