Jr. Camp #5   July 18th-July 20th 3 Days Mon.-Wed.

(10:00 am - 1:00 pm) Camp for ages 7-9 years.

A 3 day camp that focuses on being safe with dogs and cats at the shelter and learning about all kinds of animals kept as pets. We will talk about animal care and proper ways to play with them.  We will make homes, toys or feeders for wild animals around our homes and the shelter, and create posters about keeping animals safe. This is a good introduction camp on learning how to help animals and how to become a responsible pet caretaker.

Camp #6    July 25th-29th Camp for 9-12 years  (10:00 am-2:30 pm)

Topic: Rainforest, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle $135

This is a good camp for those interested in preserving the planet for all plants and animals. We will discuss leaving as small of a footprint as possible on Earth and make paper from junk mail. A few animals from around the world will visit. A project for this camp will be making environmental and nature arts and crafts. We will work with cats and dogs as usual at the shelter on behavior, socialization, and obedience training.

 Camp #7  Aug. 8th-12th Camp for 9-12 years

(10:00 am-2:30 pm)Topic: Creepy, Crawly, and Cool 

If you like the creepy crawlies or are not afraid of things that slither this is the camp for you! This week’s camp will focus on unusual animals that have adaptations to survive in extreme environments. We will work with dogs and cats at the shelter like in our other camps, but a different critter will join us at camp every day that is creepy, crawly or cool. We will also make some projects in likeness of some of the critters.
