Grades 5+  

Informational Meetings will be held on March 3rd, 4th and 5th.

The Junior Zookeeper program is for young people who want to learn more about wildlife and how a zoo works. JZKs begin by attending a one-week educational summer camp and can eventually become volunteers at Miller Park Zoo! Students currently in 5th grade or higher are eligible to begin this summer.  

Space in the program is limited, so all interested students and their parent/guardian must attend one informational meeting in order to receive application materials.  

Meetings will be held at the Miller Park Pavilion on March 3, 4, and 5, from 6:30-7:30PM. Choose the meeting date that fits your schedule; no reservation is required. Doors will close and no one may enter after 6:35PM.
