Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary: Junior Keepers Day Camp

Do you love feeding and interacting with reptiles? Sign up for this half-day camp to act like a volunteer with activities, interactions, and real animal care opportunities!

The Keeper Program is designed to give children too young to participate in our Adult Volunteer Program a chance to learn and work at PHS.  Each day is three hours long and focuses on animal care and interactions. Younger campers (our Neonate Keepers and Junior Keepers) will focus on smaller animal care activities like tortoise feeding, bathing tortoises and calm lizards, and animal related crafts/activities. Older campers (Advanced Keepers) will get the opportunity to do more advanced volunteer activities like cleaning and breaking down enclosures, feeding reptiles, and more!

Ages: Junior, Ages 8 – 11

Price: $50 per day

Your registration for a day camp will include:

• 1 snack per day & water refills
• 3 hours of fun activities/crafts, animal interactions, and practice taking care of animals (feeding/cleaning enclosures)

Interactions: YES with nonvenomous animals, this is an essential part of our camp

We recommend this for any child who has never attended our summer camps before.
