We had a blast at the Cohanzick zoo for our monthly Healthy Scoot Adventure. The amazing zoo caretaker Allison gave us an opportunity to learn about some of the animals at the zoo and touch creepy and crawly creatures like centipedes, cockroaches, and a snake. After the presentation, we got to walk and monkey around the zoo with friends!

If you would like to join us for our next Healthy Scoot Adventure, we will be heading to Deptford Mall on June 11th, 11am-2pm. Advance registration is required, and space is limited. Call us at 856-339-8644 to register!

A huge thank you to Autumn Lake Healthcare at Salem County!
