That’s a wrap on Kids Summer Camp!
All three sessions of our 2025 Kids Summer Camp have officially come to a close – and what a summer it has been! This beloved annual event continues to be one of the most anticipated parts of our year, and it’s easy to see why. Over the past few months, dozens of young animal lovers joined us for an unforgettable, hands-on journey into the world of animal rescue.
From Day 1, campers stepped into the shoes of our shelter team. They experienced Intake Day, learning what happens the moment a new pet arrives – from the transport van to medical exams and everything in between. One of the most exciting highlights? Surgery Day! With guidance from our incredible on-staff veterinarian and the amazing team from Slomba Shelter Solutions, campers scrubbed in for (stuffed animal) surgeries, tackling everything from prep and medication to recovery. For many, it was a day that sparked dreams of becoming future veterinarians or medical professionals.
But camp wasn’t all about learning, it was about heart, too. Campers poured their creativity and compassion into making adoption bags, designing kennel cards, and crafting toys and treats to enrich the lives of our shelter animals. And of course, no week was complete without plenty of time with the animals – from one-on-one meet and greets to splash-filled pool parties with our water-loving pups.
We’re so thankful for the campers, families, staff and generous supporters who helped make this summer’s camp such a huge success. Together, we’re shaping the next generation of animal advocates, and giving our shelter pets the love, attention, and second chances they deserve.
Until next summer!
