Critter Camp Returns to Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley

The Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley (HSSBV) is hosting its annual “Critter Camp” – a week-long, interactive, learning experience for students entering the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The camp will be held July 17th-21st, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  

Through this hands-on camp, children will learn the importance of kindness and compassion toward all living creatures. All activities and lessons reinforce the importance of safety around and kindness to animals, as well as taking care of our environment. Each day students will receive snacks, reinforcement materials, and take-home crafts.

During Critter Camp, the campers will experience the wonderful world of bugs, marsupials, therapy, and service animals, will learn about the difference between wild and tame animals, and “make & take” animal art activities. 

We will also be creating Stars of HOPE to send encouragement to people who have experienced a disaster or tragedy or to people to whom we would like to show our appreciation and gratitude.

The fee to attend Critter Camp for the week is just $60 per student for the entire week. Limited partial financial assistance is available. To register your child for Critter Camp visit www.hssbv.org/Upcoming-Events, call 909-386-1400 ext 218, or stop by the HSSBV located at 374 W Orange Show Road, San Bernardino.
