This is an opportunity to experience the day-to-day care of live animals and to maintain a fish hatchery.  Other hatchery work includes groundskeeping and building maintenance, which provides other opportunity to expand your knowledge and skill base.  Sterling Springs is nestled in upper Oak Creek canyon.
