Adult Keeper for a Day!
Tired of paying a high-price gym membership? Don't think you're really enjoying the 'great outdoors'? Have you always wanted to be one-on-one with nature? Well - we can help.

Flex your biceps picking up barrels; achieve better dexterity handling a bucket, a shovel and a rake at the same time; and work on your leg muscles walking around animal enclosures when you are the Adult Keeper For A Day.

The Keeper For A Day program is for people 18+, so if you're interested please send an e-mail or leave a message with your name, address and phone number. We will contact you and set a date that works into our schedules.

Leave a message for the Animal Curator: 309.676.0998 or email Keeper Camp
