CAMPS FOR KIDS
The SPCA offers two great camps for kids
every Summer. Animal Camp
is for kids going into 3rd through 6th grade.
ABC's of The SPCA is for younger kids
going into 1st or 2nd grade.
ANIMAL CAMP
 The SPCA’s week-long
summer day
camp offers
children a unique mix of fun, exciting, and educational hands-on
experiences. Animal Camp builds self-esteem and nurtures compassion by
developing an understanding of the shelter environment and a respect for
all animals. Program activities include lessons in animal safety and
handling, guided hikes on the SPCA grounds, and many visits with
adoptable animals in the shelter and barn. New this year - a "mock
adoption" experience where campers will go through the procedures of
adopting a shelter animal. An added highlight will be a tour of The SPCA’s brand
new Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where campers will see
how staff
care for
injured and orphaned animals.
Attendees hear about
animal-related jobs from professional guest speakers and have plenty of
time for creative art and drama activities before receiving their
graduation certificates.
