Critter Camp

Critter Camp provides an engaging summer experience with 8 unique themed weeks tailored for children interested in animals. Operating daily from 9am to 3pm, the camp charges $300, which includes a camp t-shirt. The K-2 week called Animal Detectives invites younger campers to participate in fun mystery games and crafts all centered on learning about animals cared for at the shelter. Older kids aged 8-11 can attend weeks focused on animal behavior science, careers working with animals, and artistic endeavors linked to animal anatomy and veterinary science. Daily activities include caring for small animals, training sessions, creative art projects, and visits from special guests. The program promotes curiosity, education, and hands-on experiences to deepen campers’ understanding of animals and the work involved in animal shelters. Unfortunately, scholarship applications for the upcoming summer are not being accepted at this time.
