Chehaw Park & Zoo is calling all Chehaw Park Authority Members, Friends of Chehaw, and Jr. Zookeepers: it is time to reconnect! Chehaw is launching a special outreach effort to bring the Chehaw family back together, update contact information, celebrate shared memories, and create new opportunities to stay involved with the park’s exciting future.

For generations, Chehaw’s members, supporters, and participants have been at the heart of the park’s story. Through their dedication, service, enthusiasm, and commitment to wildlife and conservation, they have helped shape Chehaw into the beloved community destination it is today.

Now, Chehaw is opening the door for old friends to reconnect, new memories to be made, and lifelong connections to continue growing.  Whether you were a Jr. Zookeeper, a Chehaw Park Authority Member, or a Friend of Chehaw, we invite you to be apart of this special outreach program. Former Jr. Zookeepers are encouraged to update their information through the Jr. Zookeeper Database at https://tinyurl.com/JZKeeperDatabase to help preserve the legacy of this impactful program, strengthen the alumni network, and explore future opportunities to bring participants together again. Chehaw Park Authority Members and Friends of Chehaw are also invited to update their information through the Chehaw Park Authority Members & Friends of Chehaw Database at https://tinyurl.com/chehawcontactform.

 By sharing your updated contact information, you'll be among the first to hear about upcoming events, special opportunities, and ways to stay involved including being invited to this year special Chehaw Family Social on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at Chehaw Zoo Plaza. Whether you were involved decades ago or more recently, this evening is an opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, share stories, learn about what's ahead, and celebrate the people who have made Chehaw such a meaningful place. Join us as we celebrate our shared history, renew old friendships, and continue building something special for generations to come.
