OHS Youth Summer Camp Portland Campus

The OHS Youth Summer Camp held at the Portland Campus is designed for children entering grades 3 to 8, focusing on enhancing their understanding and compassion for animals. This engaging camp combines education and entertainment, allowing kids to participate in diverse activities such as direct interactions with shelter animals when available, engaging educational games, creative arts and crafts, and informative sessions with guest speakers. Emphasizing safety and inclusivity, the camp ensures that daily programs accommodate children’s developmental stages and provide meaningful experiences even on days without animal encounters. Parents should prepare their children with suitable clothing for engaging safely with animals and acknowledge the clinic’s limitations regarding allergy accommodations and campers’ comfort with animals. This well-structured camp is run by animal welfare experts and volunteers, promoting a nurturing, supportive, and fun-filled environment for young animal lovers.
