Fun at the Zoo

 

Each year, students from Lutheran Social Services of Indiana’s Children’s Village and residents of Lutheran Life Villages come together for an annual Zoo Day, a time of intergenerational fun at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo.

“Our annual Zoo Day is keenly anticipated by both our students and their senior friends from Lutheran Life Villages,” says Children’s Village Director Kathy Lehman. “We believe that this intergenerational event, just as our regular intergenerational programming at Children’s Village, is of great benefit to both groups, fostering understanding, respect, and learning.”
