What Does it Cost To Feed a Giraffe?

Join Bounce10 at the Santa Barbara Zoo | 09.19.26

This exclusive, day-long experience will give families an opportunity to launch a journey building financial skills, resilience, and confidence in the next generation. Go behind the scenes with zoo staff for an up-close giraffe experience that connects cost to care, along with other great activities at the zoo. It’s the perfect opportunity for families to launch a journey of resilience and savvy while enjoying the magic of Santa Barbara.

Using a day in the life of a giraffe as a real-world case study in planning, budgeting, and philanthropy, we offer four developmentally appropriate tracks:

Kids (4-9), Tweens (10-12), Teens (13-17): hands-on adventures led by Bounce10 Navigators to build life-long skills and financial vocabulary. Our youngest participants will learn about the care and costs that wildlife requires while our older learners will get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a whole zoo.

Parents & Grandparents: A parallel workshop led by Joline, featuring practical strategies for raising financially fluent children.

This program is made possible with the help of our friends at the Santa Barbara Zoo.
