Wildlife Care Apprentice (ages 10-15)

Is your child interested in the world of wildlife care? Join our wildlife team for this half-day Wildlife Care Apprenticeship program! Similar to our Wildlife Camps, 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!

This is a drop-off program for chidlren ages 10-15, so allergy and emergency information is required for all registrants. For more information, please email registrar@blandfordnaturecenter.org. Our Wildlife Programs Specialist, Sarah Peterson, will be leading this program and will be assisted by our wildlife volunteers and Wildlife Manager.
