Virtual Critter Camp 2021 has yet to be determined. Come back and visit for more info!
Families and campers can sign up for more than one week. There will be some repeated material, but we will do our best to make each week unique, with new animals, guests, and subjects.
We will be using a virtual meeting platform, Zoom, for live camp meet-ups. Depending on the theme of the week, Campers will have the opportunity to virtually meet animals; learn about animal safety, overpopulation, responsible pet care, and more; and help animals get adopted through art, fundraising, service projects, and advocacy! Each day will include animal-inspired crafts, activities, and on-demand guest demonstrations and field trips.
The Morning Pup Warmup
Video presentation on a pet welfare topic such as veterinary health, dog training, kitten care, etc. plus an interactive challenge to take the lesson offline at home, such as a scavenger hunt, an activity sheet, a creative project, or craft.
Zoom Mutt-ing
We meet each other, meet an animal, or multiple animals and follow up on the challenges.
Afternoon Animal Activity
Based on the animals we meet, there will be an afternoon opportunity to apply the knowledge or help, by either drawing a picture, making a poster, spreading the word, working on a service, or fundraising challenge.
$100 per week ($50 per week for the DIY Camp)
If there is no space left in the week of camp you would like to sign up for, you may sign up for the waitlist for that week. No payment will be required at that time. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
Camps are subject to cancellation. If a camp is canceled due to low enrollment or an unforeseen problem, campers will have the option to receive a full refund, change to a different week, or donate funds to our education department.
