Please carefully review all of the information below regarding the Project Dream visit to the Denver Zoo tomorrow.
Parent Volunteers
- All Parent Volunteers must sign-up with the school’s Site Supervisor prior to Friday as we need to have an accurate count of the total number of students and adults attending.
- Entrance tickets are free for all Project Dream students and Parent Volunteers. If you plan to bring a child that is not in Project Dream programs, you will need to purchase a ticket for that child. Entrance fees can be found here: https://denverzoo.org/visit/
- Due to extremely limited bus capacity, we are unable to have parent volunteers ride the bus with us – parent volunteers are more than welcome to have their student ride to the zoo with them in a personal car.
- Please meet our buses by entering through the zoo’s main entrance on 23rd Avenue at Steele St. Once you enter, follow signage to the designated drop-off location. Our group will need to enter through Gate 1.
- A detailed schedule for Parent Volunteers will be provided on Friday.
