JUNIOR CARETAKERS
8 - 12 year olds
Some of our best volunteers at Storybook Farm have been the Junior Caretakers. They enjoy spending time with friends while learning about animal care, the value of hard work, and the importance of caring for others. They laugh, play, and find immense joy experiencing farm life and getting to know over 50 animals, all in one beautiful place.
