SOLD OUT | Wildlife Care Apprentices (Ages 10-15)

Is your child interested in the world of wildlife care? Or have they participated in one of our Wildlife Camps and want to experience more? Join our wildlife team for this half-day Wildlife Care Apprenticeship program! This program allows your child to get hands-on experience with Blandford’s wildlife ambassadors. Participants will spend the afternoon meeting the ambassadors, providing them with food and enrichment, and then heading outdoors for a wildlife-seeking adventure on the Blandford property. Participants will go home with a Blandford vintage logo vinyl sticker and stories to tell of their fun afternoon!
Our Wildlife Programs Specialist, Sarah Peterson, will be leading this program, and will be assisted by our wildlife volunteers.
