Hey kids! If you’re crazy about animals, Camp Kindness is the summer camp for you! Come experience five days of animalistic fun guaranteed to get your tail wagging. Each session will give you plenty of hands-on experiences combined with interesting educational opportunities.

Sessions are Monday through Friday and run for eight weeks during June and July, providing every camper the opportunity to interact with shelter animals. Camp Kindness fills up fast and registration is on a first come, first served basis so you need to be an early bird to catch this worm.

Disclaimer:
Please be advised: We cannot guarantee that your child will not be exposed to or come into contact with: nuts, soy, milk or wheat products.

Please ensure your choice of dates, time and session is correct. We regret that we are unable to make any changes once your registration has been officially processed.   

All campers should wear closed-toe shoes, bring a water bottle and a sweatshirt or light jacket as our facility is cool.   Please drop off your child no earlier than 10 minutes prior to start time of camp.  For safety reasons, all campers must be picked up immediately after camp concludes each day.  Late pick-ups will be charged a fee of $1.00 per minute after 5 minutes.    Thank you for your cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many campers are there in each session?  

   Each session has space for 45 campers with two classes of about 22 children
2. Who teaches the sessions?

   We hire certified classroom teachers along with high school counselors.
3. Can my child be signed up with a friend?  Can we switch sessions?

   Please remember applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.   We cannot hold any spots for potential campers.  The best way to ensure both your child and the friend attend the same camp is to register at the same time.  We apologize that we cannot switch camp sessions once registration has been officially processed. Cancellations will be charged a $10.00 processing fee.
   
4. Will the campers get to play with the animals?

   Each day of camp includes supervised animal interaction as curriculum allows.
5. What time should my child arrive?
   
Please arrive approximately 10 minutes early, especially the first day so you and your camper can meet the teacher.   Morning senior campers should be dropped off on the west end of our main building (follow the signage) and afternoon junior campers should meet in the lobby area prior to the start of camp. 
6. What time should I arrive to pick up my child?
   
Since our first priority is your child’s safety, all campers MUST BE PICKED UP immediately after camp concludes each day.  Campers will NOT be permitted to wait outside.  Please be prompt.  If you are late, a strict penalty of $1.00 per minute after 5 minutes will be imposed.
7. What if my child misses a class?
   Please let us know if your child will miss any class.  Refunds cannot be made for missed classes.
8. May parents sit in and watch the campers?
   Parents are asked not to accompany their child to camp as it is often disruptive to the other students.  If you have concerns or questions about camp, you are welcome to speak to the teachers.
9. My child attended Camp Kindness last summer, will it be different this year?

   Yes! The core curriculum remains the same, but new features, speakers, games, crafts and animals are also offered to keep camps fresh and exciting!  We find that over one-third of our campers are “repeat campers” because they enjoy coming to camp every year!
10. I did not receive a confirmation email?

    If you did not receive a confirmation email please check your junk email and see if the message was delivered there.  If the confirmation email is not in your junk email folder please check your bank account records to see if your payment was processed.  If there is no payment that was processed then your registration might not have been processed.  Our system will time people out after 20 min to prevent fraud.  If you would like to see if your registration went through even though you didn’t receive a confirmation email please email programs@nehumanesociety.org with the subject Didn’t Receive a Confirmation Email.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE CAMPERS DERIVE MAXIMUM BENEFIT AND ENJOYMENT FROM CAMP, CAMPERS WHO BECOME DISRUPTIVE OR DISRESPECTFUL WILL BE REMOVED AT THE TEACHER’S DISCRETION WITH NO REFUND OF TUITION.
