Kids N Critters

$75-$345 | Grades 6-8 | June-August

The perfect camp for animal lovers going into grades 6-8! At this camp, kids will have the opportunity to meet and learn about different animals. Our staff will guide the campers as they discover fun facts about all kinds of critters at HAWS. Counselors will guide and teach kids the important ways to care for pets to ensure they grow up healthy and happy. Through hands-on activities, games, and interactive lessons, kids will learn about responsible pet ownership, animal safety, and how to support local shelters. With increased interactive animal time from the younger age camp, every child will leave with a greater appreciation for the ways staff and volunteers help enrich our animals’ lives during their time at the shelter.

Camp Highlights:

  • Meet & Greet with Shelter Animals: Get up close with shelter animals and learn their unique stories and personalities.
  • Create Animal-Themed Crafts: Campers will create a craft with the help of shelter animals to take home and remember their time at camp.
  • Shelter Tour: Explore the shelter’s facilities and learn how the team cares for animals awaiting adoption.
  • Animal-Themed Games and Challenges: Campers will engage in fun competitions like “adoption matchmaking,” “guess the breed” and designing dog food for shelter animals to taste test!
