BC SPCA  Summer Camps 

2008 Summer Camp  

BC SPCA summer camps are held at various locations throughout the province. A full list of this year’s camp locations will be posted soon. Please check back for updates, or with your local shelter, to see if there will be a camp in your area. 

At camp, participants are immersed in animal-themed activities and are challenged, in a fun and engaging way, to learn about responsible animal care, animal facts and to develop positive, respectful relationships between people, animals and nature. They leave feeling inspired to be ambassadors for animals in their community.

Topics at camp include pet care, wildlife, farm animals, animal welfare issues and the environment. The activities each day range from active field games to quiet hands-on projects and include games, crafts, skits, guest speakers and time with animals. All of our activities have been designed by the BC SPCA to incorporate positive animal welfare themes.
