Registration for 2020 camps will open in January!
At Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control we believe learning to be responsible pet guardians begins at a young age. Our summer camps help kids explore the joys of animals through fun, interactive games and activities. Our camps promote humane attitudes toward animals and others. Keep an eye on our website for next year's summer camp dates! Children 6-8 can participate in our Jr. Pet Explorer Day Camp and children 9-12 are eligible for our Pet Explorer Day Camp.

Teen Buddies
Each year we look for teens who love kids and animals to help out with our Pet Explorer Summer Camps!
Teen Buddies will play an important role in helping camp counselors and they will be the campers' best friend for the week of camp! Teen Buddies WILL NOT directly handle animals. During the application process teens can choose which week(s) they'd like to help with. Following the application process, there will be an interview and required orientation for all Teen Buddies in the program.
