Stardust Sanctuary, Clayton (1100 Russelmann Park Rd)
- Animal-care education sessions; the booking page says students 9+, the overview says over 8.
- Recurring sessions are described but no current dated opening is exposed; old 2025 terms and differing weekly schedules need confirming.
- Volunteer intake is separate from class enrollment.
Get involved
Apply to volunteer; orientation and an ongoing commitment apply.
Independent volunteers 14+; minors need consent; younger children only on parent-accompanied days.
Community support on record
- Clayton Valley Farms: Identified by Stardust Sanctuary as its program partner and location. (stated by the sanctuary)
Historical, as published by the recipient. None of this is Clayton Guide partner status, which is separate and which no one here holds.
Worth knowing
- The August 10 volunteer workday is from 2024 and is not an opportunity. Summer Camp ’26 sessions are ended; no summer language is carried into fall. Clayton Valley Farms is the sanctuary’s stated program partner and location, not a sponsor.
