Join us for a unique camp experience.
HAWS is dedicated to strengthening the relationship between people and animals.
We know to truly accomplish this we need to focus on educating the next generation of leaders – future leaders like your child(ren)!
Our camp kids are taught to show compassion for all living things through animal interactions and character-driven programming. Campers will be walking dogs, cuddling cats, hiking trails, holding snakes, and more! They gain respect for the animals and confidence as caregivers and advocates.
Two incredible locations:
- HAWS Main Shelter in Waukesha
- HAWS Schallock Center for Animals in Delafield
Summer Camp registration opens Monday, February 3rd, 2025!
