Seasonal Camps
Fun, educational, and animal-filled days during every Marion County school break.
What are Humane Education Camps?
We have Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring Camps during the Marion County Breaks. Just like our Doggone Good Reading Program, we educate our youth on compassion and community needs while having fun and socializing with animals.
What will my child do?
Each day, your child will learn two lessons on Humane Education and complete four to six crafts/toys to donate to our Shelter Animals. We even have special crafts for you to take home, too! We will also have Animal Playtime and guest speakers coming in with more animals. After Lunch, we will also show a movie!
What does HSMC Provide?
We provide Morning Snack, Lunch, and Afternoon Snack. We provide all items for the Activities and Crafts. The only thing you will need to bring will be a refillable water bottle and blanket (if you want) for the movie. If you have dietary restrictions, we will have tables available to store packed snacks and lunches.
How can we sign up?
2027 camp information coming soon!
How long does camp last?
Camp is from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You may also take advantage of our extended day program (7:30 AM – 5:30 PM) for an additional charge.
Daily Schedule
Interested in Helping?
We are currently looking for Jr. Counselors (aged 16–18) to assist with activities. This is a great opportunity for young volunteers to gain experience, build leadership skills, and make a difference in the lives of animals and campers alike!
Ages 14–15 can assist as well but must have their guardian/volunteer sponsor with them at all times.
