What makes our camps special?
At CAP Kids Camps, children explore the world of animals—what they eat, how they live, and the challenges they face. They’ll discover what makes each animal unique and why treating them with kindness and respect is so important. Campers are empowered to think critically about their role in caring for companion pets and protecting wildlife.
Our camps blend humane education with science, technology, and art, helping kids develop compassion and responsibility. Each day includes fun activities like games, crafts, and hands-on animal interactions. With small camp sizes, every child gets quality time with our animal guests.
Day Camp (9am-3pm): $75/day
