The Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley is hosting its annual “Critter Camp” – a week-long, interactive, learning experience for students entering the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. There are two separate sessions, June 10-23 and July 17-21, 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 receive snacks, as well as reinforcement materials and take home crafts.
During Critter Camp, the campers will experience the wonderful world of bugs, marsupials, therapy and service animals, the difference between wild and tame animals, and “make & take” animal art activities.
They will also be creating Stars of HOPE to send encouragement to people who have experienced a disaster or tragedy.
The fee to attend Critter Camp for the week is just $60 per student for the entire week (per session). Limited partial financial assistance is available. To register you child for Critter Camp visit www.hssbv.org/Upcoming-Events , call 909-386-1400 ext 218 or stop by the HSSBV (374 W Orange Show Road, San Bernardino).
