Shelter Heroes Camp

Rising 2-5 Grade

Step into the world of everyday heroes—both furry and human! At Shelter Heroes, campers will discover how animals help people and how people can make a meaningful difference for animals in return. Throughout the week, kids will meet shelter animals, learn about working and service pets, explore the ways shelters care for pets in need, and even roll up their sleeves to create enrichment toys that brighten the lives of animals waiting for homes. 

From hands-on activities to compassionate conversations, Shelter Heroes empowers kids to see themselves as helpers and friends to animals everywhere. Join us for a week of learning, kindness, and heroic fun! 

Camp Highlights 

  • Meet & Greet Shelter Animals: Interact with a variety of shelter animals 

  • Animal Heroes Spotlight: Explore the world of service animals, therapy pets, working dogs, and other animals that help people every day. 

  • Become an Animal Advocate: Animal body language, and ways to support shelters in the community. 

  • Volunteering: Campers will design and craft toys, puzzles, and comfort items to improve the lives of animals waiting for homes. 

Morning & Afternoon Care 

Drop-off time for those without morning extended care is 8:45am or later. Extended care is available for an extra fee from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. You must register in advance for extended care.

If your child isn’t signed up for morning extended care, please plan to drop them off at 8:45 a.m. or later. A late fee of $1.00 per minute applies for late pickups (after 4:00pm without extended care or after 5:00pm with extended care.) If you think timing might be tight, we recommend signing up for extended care to make things easier for everyone!

For safety reasons, please do not drop children off early unless they’re registered for morning extended care. While staff are on-site, they won’t expect your child unless they’re signed up, and we want to be sure every camper is safely checked in.

Children Information

It is important to inform HAWS of any special needs; physical, medical, mental or emotional, that your child may have so that we can provide a successful HAWS experience. Failure to inform HAWS of any of these needs that are necessary to know when instructing your child may result in your child being unable to participate and a loss of program fees.

Payment and Registration

There will be a 30% administrative fee for all cancellations. There will be no refunds or transfers given within two weeks of the start of the program session.
