Pet Explorer Day Camps are a great opportunity for kids 6 to 12 years old to learn all about the shelter! During the summer we have one week camp options available and during the spring, our Spring Break camps brings one-day camp options for your kiddos.
A typical day at camp includes learning about the shelter, exploring animal-related careers, making treats for the animals in our care, playing games, crafts and of course - ANIMALS!

TEEN BUDDIES
***For the 2024 season, our teen buddy spots are filled for June 3-14 (6-8 year old camps), but we are still searching for teen buddies ages 15-18!***
Teens 13 to 18 years old can apply to be Teen Buddies to assist with camps. Teen Buddies serve as role models for campers, assist camp counselors with cleaning and prepping activities and help supervise the campers during animal interactions.
- New Teen Buddies can assist with one week of camp and returning buddies can request multiple weeks.
- Teen Buddies are expected to help the entire duration of camp (9 am to 3 pm).
- Teen Buddies that are between the ages of 13-14 are only able to assist with our 6-8 year old camps (June 3-14) because they are too close in age to our 12-year-old campers in our 9-12 year old camps.
