KIDS’ CAMPS
Critter Camp:
For Kids Who Love Animals
Get ready for the ultimate animal adventure. Critter Camp isn't your average summer program—it's an immersive, hands-on experience that turns passionate animal lovers into confident, compassionate advocates.
Campers don't just learn about animals. They connect with them and discover what it truly means to make a difference in their lives. From understanding animal welfare to exploring the needs of different species, every lesson is designed to ignite curiosity and build skills that last a lifetime.
Every day is packed with excitement:
Real animal visitors, inspiring guest speakers (live and virtual), nature walks, enrichment projects, animal-themed games, and outdoor adventures that make learning anything but ordinary.
This is the camp where kids who light up around animals finally find their people and their purpose.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a vet, a wildlife biologist, or simply wants to be the best advocate animals have ever had, Critter Camp gives them the knowledge, empathy, and confidence to make it happen.
Spots are limited. The animals are waiting. Is your camper ready?

“My daughter loved the camp. Each day there were new activities, and it felt like the programs were enriching and engaging. She also taught us some new tips and tricks she learned for our pet dog and cat.”

-
For the safety and respect of animal participants, animal meet and greet time is limited and closely monitored. Campers will have multiple opportunities to interact with various animals. This is primarily an educational program. While campers will get to interact with animals, they will not spend most of their time caring for or playing with animals.
-
Each day varies depending on which animals and guest presenters will be visiting camp. Typical activities include animal themed games, enrichment crafts, and guest presenters. Pending weather, campers will spend time outdoors.

-
To run our camps efficiently, we repeat activities for each grade level from week to week. In addition, many of our camps fill up, and we'd like to reach as many children as possible. For these reasons, we limit each child to attending once each summer.
-
For summer camp, please register your child for the grade they will be entering in the fall. Camp activities are tailored to grade levels. Making exceptions to our grade level groupings poses challenges for campers and staff. To maintain the best camp experience for everyone, we do not make exceptions to the camp grade levels.
-
Groups are shuffled regularly to encourage interaction with new kids throughout the week. Campers who attend with friends will have plenty of opportunities to be together, but we cannot guarantee they will participate in every activity together.
-
A full refund minus a $25 processing fee will be issued provided the cancellation is given in writing 7 days prior to the start of the camp session. No refunds will be given for late arrivals, early departures or absences.
