For Animal Lovers entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade…


This year SCHS will again offer a Day Camp directed at young teen-agers with an interest in animals, animal behavior, and in health care in general. This camp will be more intensive and educational than previous camps, and will be perfect for children who have already attended one of our other camps.

The camp runs four (4) days, June 30th – July 3rd (Monday – Thursday.) Camp hours will be from 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. (Please send a brown bag lunch.) Campers will learn about health care for pets, study dog and cat behavior, enjoy field trips for animal-lovers, and get to observe certain medical procedures being done at the Shelter. This promises to be an educational and fun camp that just might start your animal-loving child down a career path!
