Posted by Celia Monday, February 1, 2010 0 comments

From the Dane County Humane Society:

Camp Pawprint is a series of week-long day camps held at Dane County Humane Society. Campers ages 7 to 15 enjoy animal-related lessons and activities while having fun with other animal lovers! Activities include humane education lessons, critter projects, group games, and daily presentations from local animal experts. All campers spend time interacting with our camp animals and getting hands-on experience providing daily care and socialization. Animals used in the camp program vary daily and are approved by our behavior department.


Each week of Camp Pawprint has a different age group and theme. Activities, lessons, and visitors vary for each theme, but every week includes animal care and interaction, arts and crafts, and Friday afternoon horseback riding.

Registration opens February 1, 2010. Spots are limited and fill quickly so don't forget to register early!
