Kid Camps help children understand responsible pet care, animal safety, welfare, and empathy for our furry friends.
Are you looking for a camp for your little ones during Spring or Summer Break?
The WHS camps give children a chance to learn about animals and responsible pet care. We provide a look into our shelter and show campers how we help animals here find new and happy homes.
With age-appropriate crafts, games, workshops, appearances from local animal groups, and fun activities, the WHS will help your child make the most of his time.
