“Day in the Life of a Shelter Worker” Day Camp
Welcome to Day Camp!
Students will get to know the different departments at their City’s municipal shelter, get a taste for what employees do, and learn about animal care and behavior along the way. Their classroom time will consist of lessons and crafts themed around responsible pet ownership and canine and feline body language. Outdoor portions of the day will continue rain or shine, so come prepared for the weather! Sessions will allow 45 minutes for lunch (not provided).

Students age 8-10 are welcome to join us on Thursday, June 25 from 9:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.
Students age 11-13 are welcome to join us on Friday, June 26 from 9:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.
