Youth Programs

Our Fall/Winter Humane Education programs run October-February. We have brought back some popular programs (camp caturday returns!) and added a few new and exciting choices!
Our workshops offer peer discussion and professional guidance through a number of topics, the junior volunteer club has split into two age groups, and our Neurodivergent camp offers a low-sensory experience for campers who may get overstimulated in the larger capacity camps. 
Registration for programs (*excluding field trips/classroom visits, tales to tails) will be available on the 1st of each month (October programs available october 1st, November programs on November 1st etc…)
*Field trips and classroom visit registration is provided in the link on that page and is open at all times.
