At this year’s February Critter Camp, children will dive into the fascinating world of animals and their families, exploring how different species nurture and care for their young. Our hands-on lessons and fun activities are designed to teach kids about the vital bonds between animals while fostering compassion and respect for all living beings.
Throughout the camp, children will discover how animals raise their young, how humans help nurture baby and adult animals, and more! Kids will get up close to a variety of animals, and participate in crafts, games, and other activities, all inspired by the theme of family, kinship, and protection in the animal world. Through fun lessons, kids will develop a deeper understanding of the importance of care, love, and community in both the animal and human worlds.
Join us on February 17th for an unforgettable adventure filled with learning, laughter, and animal magic! Together, we’ll celebrate the incredible diversity of animal families and the joy of the animal world.

What is Critter Camp?
We strongly believe that animal wellness tomorrow begins with education today. Our Humane Education Department runs a series of Critter Camps throughout the year, designed to provide our youth with experiential learning, hands-on activities, and engaging lesson plans, all in the world of animal welfare and our beloved pets.

Understanding the principles of animal safety and fostering positive interactions with a diverse array of creatures are essential steps towards fully enjoying all that (both domestic and wild) animals have to offer. By fostering empathy and understanding, we aim to cultivate a sense of responsibility towards the welfare of animals.

Critter Camp isn’t just about learning facts; it’s about inspiring action. We want our campers to leave with a newfound passion for making a difference in the lives of animals, whether it’s by volunteering at shelters, supporting conservation efforts, or simply being mindful of their own pets’ needs. Together, we can create a safe community where humans and animals coexist harmoniously, and Critter Camp is where that journey begins.
