\n\t\tHey kids! If you are crazy about animals, Camp Kindness is the summer camp for you! Come experience five days of fun guaranteed to get your tail wagging. Each session will include hands-on learning experiences such as caring for our camp critters, interacting with animals, educational games, art, guest-speakers and learning new ways to show kindness.<\/p>\n
Camp Kindness Sessions take place Monday through Friday, providing every camper the opportunity to interact with shelter animals. The sessions are split into two sections: Junior camps (ages 6-9 years) and Senior Campers (10-13 years old).<\/p>\n
Camp fills up fast and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, so you’ll want to be an early bird to catch this worm!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t

They will ensure safety of the children first, but also ensure the parent\/guardian is contacted\/informed of what is taking place.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCan my child be signed up with a friend? Can we switch sessions?\n\t\t\t\t\t Please remember applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We cannot hold any spots for potential campers. The best way to ensure both your child and the friend attend the same camp session is to register at the same time. We apologize that we cannot switch camp sessions once registration has been officially processed. A refund can be provided but you will be charged the $30 cancellation fee and then a new registration can be made to register for the same session.\u00a0<\/p>\n Please note: groupings during camp fluctuate and although youth may sign up for the same session, we cannot guarantee they will be in the same small group\/table. They, however, participate in many activities as a large group together.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWill the campers get to play with animals?\n\t\t\t\t\t Each day of camp includes supervised animal interaction as curriculum allows.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tHow early can I bring my child to camp? \n\t\t\t\t\t Campers should be dropped off to the Center for Humane Education\u00a0no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the camp start time<\/strong>. Campers must be accompanied by an adult to sign them into camp each day. Camp Staff are not responsible for children until they are signed in by the adult accompanying them. Campers must be picked up and signed out by an adult immediately after camp concludes each day.\u00a0Late pick-ups will be charged a fee of $1.00 per minute after five minutes<\/strong>. We appreciate your cooperation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tMy child attended Camp Kindness last summer, will it be different this year?\n\t\t\t\t\t Yes! The core curriculum remains the same, but new features, speakers and animals are also offered to keep camps fresh! We find that over one-third of our campers are “repeat campers” because they enjoy coming to camp every year!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tAllergy Information\n\t\t\t\t\t We cannot guarantee that your child will not be exposed to or come into contact with: nuts, soy, milk or wheat products. If your child suffers from a food allergy, please inform staff.<\/p>\n If your child uses an EpiPen, he\/she must be trained to administer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tRefund Policy\n\t\t\t\t\t Please ensure your choice of dates, time and session is correct. We regret that we are unable to make any changes once your registration has been officially processed.\u00a0Refunds will not be given unless requested at least 2 weeks prior to the start date of your scheduled camp session. A $30.00 processing fee will be deducted from all refunds. Dismissal from camp due to inappropriate behavior is non-refundable.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat to wear and bring to camp\n\t\t\t\t\t All campers should wear\u00a0closed-toe shoes\u00a0and bring a water bottle and a sweatshirt or light jacket as temperatures may fluctuate inside the facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWeek 1: June 1-5\n\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t
