During this Pet Themed Camp, children create art projects, learn about pet care, animal behaviour and animal body language. Each week focuses on a different pet. The pets children will learn about are dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lizards, fish, and frogs. Children will create agility courses for rabbits and dogs, as well as basic training techniques for a variety of animals.

​

The program encourages creativity, imagination, exploration, and uses companion animals to teach responsibility and empathy while building self esteem and psychological and emotional well-being.

​

Pet Themed Summer Camp occurs twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) for 3 hours a day.

The camp runs from July 11 - August 31, 2017
