Want a rewarding and enriching experience for your animal-loving child during summer break?

Critter Camp is the place for your children!  Campers learn about the animals that share our world from a knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. Children participate in age-appropriate lessons, crafts, and hands-on animal encounters that teach them respect, compassion, and how to provide a lifetime of care for animals. Students will encounter all sorts of creatures, large and small, and will handle a wide variety of friendly pets.

What will my child learn at Critter Camp and where is it held?

Critter camp lessons are fun and engaging!  Children will be given the opportunity to learn about a variety of pets and complete a number of animal-related crafts and activities.  Generally, each day features to one or more types of animals and, as applicable, children are allowed to meet the animals being discussed under the supervision of the instructor.  Camp activities will be held inside and outside, weather permitting.

Critter Camp is held at Hanover Humane Society's facility which is located just four miles North of Virginia Center Commons Mall.   Nestled on 5 acres near Ashland (12190 Washington Highway), we have a facility equipped for Wellness Clinic and adoption rooms, a training facility, our kennel, a play yard, and wooded walking trails.
