This includes building animal enrichment, improving animal enclosures, learning about different zoo careers and participating in team-building exercises. As a Rolling Hills Zoo Junior Zoo Keeper, teens will gain the knowledge and understanding of what it truly takes to care for such special and important endangered species.
