Camp Critter & Camp Hero at SPCA Westchester

SPCA Westchester’s Camp Critter provides a week-long summer camp dedicated to young animal lovers who want a hands-on experience in pet care and compassion. Designed for various age groups from 1st through 9th grade, campers engage in practical lessons about grooming, feeding, and understanding animals, alongside fun activities like arts and crafts inspired by the shelter’s residents. The camp enables close interactions with shelter animals, helping campers develop empathy and nurturing skills in a supportive environment. Meanwhile, Camp Hero offers a dynamic experience focused on problem-solving and advocating for animal welfare, empowering campers to become young leaders for change. Both camps blend education, creativity, and fun while raising funds to support the shelter animals’ health and comfort. Sessions run throughout the year, including winter and spring breaks and the summer season, with limited spaces ensuring personalized attention.
