Other Requirements
Parents are required to attend a mandatory orientation offered the week before camp begins and sign our policies and procedures form. Due to the nature of our business, with constant exposure to animals and their allergens, our education programs are not recommended for children/teens with known allergies. Children with allergies or other health concerns should have a signed release from their doctor. Participants are expected to be self supporting to participate in all physical and academic activities planned and/or required by department position duties. Because of staffing restrictions we may not be able to accommodate special individual needs. Due to the popularity of this camp, a child may only register for one week of camp each summer, allowing as many children to attend as possible. This is a recreational summer camp program. The Humane Society is not a licensed child care provider.
