December 27-29, 2021
Campers taking part in our December Holiday Vacation Camp will meet from 9 am to 3 pm and are welcome to register for one, two, or all three days! Children ages 7 to 12 will enjoy learning about the pets in the Humane Education classroom as well as the animals in the Adoption Center. There will be lots of hands-on time with the animals, as well as games, crafts, and activities – all with an animal theme!
Each day of camp includes opportunities to interact with our classroom animals and learn about the different adoptable animals around our campus, we will be highlighting different animal-related themes each day! On Monday, we will have a special focus on farm animals, on Tuesday we will learn about different companion animals like dogs and cats, and on Wednesday we will spend time learning about different small animals, affectionately called pocket-pets!
We strive to provide a unique and memorable experience for our campers, and this is also a wonderful way to support the life-saving efforts of the NHSPCA while helping a young animal lover to learn about being a responsible pet owner.
**If there is inclement weather and the need to cancel during a purchased camp day, there will be a make-up day on Thursday, December 30.
Spacing is limited to twelve campers per day so be sure to register soon!
COST: $60 per day
In order to adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols, masks are required for all participants when indoors (except for when eating). Shared surfaces will be sanitized regularly and physical distancing, and hand washing will be implemented throughout the day.
Spaces fill up quickly, so register early! It is not the NHSPCA’s policy to give refunds for cancellations. In the case of inclement weather, we will make all attempts to reschedule or provide a credit to use toward future programming. Once you have submitted the registration form, a member of our staff will connect to confirm your registration and provide additional information.
*We welcome campers of all backgrounds and ability levels. Please note, if your child requires 1:1 support from a trained adult while at school, it is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that a trained adult can attend camp with your child. It is also the parent’s responsibility to secure a background check for the attending adult prior to the start of camp. Without a cleared background check, the child and adult will not be able to participate.
