Houston SPCA Critter Camp!

Do your animal lovin’ kids want to learn more about animal welfare?

Then Houston SPCA’s Critter Camp is the place to be this summer!

Our in-person, week-long adventures will include Vet Camp, Animal Rescue and Forensics, and Jr. Pet Pals. The day camps are in the Carruth Education Center, located on the Houston SPCA campus.

Critter Camp is for campers who complete 2nd grade through eighth grade will meet real animal experts in the fields of veterinary medicine and animal cruelty investigations, as well as animal rescue techs and wildlife specialists — with their native wild animal ambassadors in tow!

And let’s not forget it is camp, so there will be lots of games like Giant Jenga, Cornhole, and beach ball volleyball, along with plenty of cool crafts to be made and even some for pets in need, too.

But it just wouldn’t be Critter Camp without critters, would it? Multiple playtimes are scheduled with adoptable pets every day because some of these homeless pets enjoy the socialization just as much as the Campers do.

The reopening will also come with some new, personal touches for visitors. Every individual or family will be assigned their own experienced Adoption Counselor when they arrive on campus for their appointment. The AC will guide them through the process of meeting and interacting with available pets based on their personal preferences such as puppies and small dogs in the large get-acquainted spaces; small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs in habitats as well as felines in the Kitty Lodge or large dogs in one of several play yards.
