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.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations committed to next generation education and meaningful family engagement. Join us in helping families build stronger conversations around money, values, and legacy.

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