Take a walk on the wild side these summer school holidays and work alongside TV zoologist Chris Humfrey and his 2000 animals at Wild Action Zoo.
Children can have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage with a myriad of native wildlife and care for them through Chris Humfrey’s Junior Zoo Keeper Program at Macedon.
The program is ideal for children aged six to 17 years who are just as mad about animals as Chris.
Dates of the program are: January 7, January 8, January 14, January 16 and January 23, from 10am to 4pm.
High-quality photographs will capture the experience and be made available to participants. Each child will also receive a personally signed copy of Chris Humfrey’s Awesome Australian Animals.
Maximum of 12 participants per day. Cost is $330 (+GST).
