If you did not get your young animal lover registered, we are sorry to say that 2008 Summer Critter Camp is now FULL. Our next Critter Camp will be held during the holiday break in December of 2008.
WHAT IS SUMMER CRITTER CAMP???
For kids that love animals and those future veterinarians - this is the camp for you! There are four camps to choose from: Animal Welfare, Animal Kingdom, Dog & Cat, and the Tween Camp. All campers will get to play with cute puppies and kitties! Each week of camp will be filled with age-appropriate crafts, games, activities, and many interactions with shelter pets! Space is limited to 20 campers per class for a one-week camp. There are three classes held per week. Fee includes all craft materials, camp T-shirt, and afternoon snack and drink. Campers must bring a lunch each day.
