Animal Heroes Camp with SANTA CRUZ SPCA
SUPER PAWS – Animal heroes camp (ages 6-9 and 10-13)
This summer, kids will discover the real-life superpowers of animals — from lightning-fast speed and clever problem-solving to incredible survival skills and heroic ways animals help us every day. Campers will explore what makes each species unique while celebrating animals as true superheroes of the natural world.
Children will create superhero profiles and origin stories for our shelter animals, design heroic identities, and help train them for exciting “adventures” — all while giving them plenty of love, enrichment, and positive socialization.
Through games, creativity, and hands-on experiences, campers will learn how kindness, understanding, and compassion are the greatest superpowers of all!

Camp Unalayee has been taking kids on outdoor adventures since 1949. Located in Northern California’s Trinity Alps, we are a non-profit, wilderness summer camp that provides meaningful outdoor experiences for children ages 10-17. Whether boating, backpacking, making crafts or learning leadership skills, campers learn how to safely enjoy a remarkably beautiful wilderness setting.

CampU provides financial assistance to many of its campers, allowing kids from all income levels to have a wilderness summer camp experience. Our program actively teaches campers confidence, compassion, community and conservation.
As a wilderness summer camp, Unalayee is proud to have introduced thousands of kids to backcountry living while maintaining an impeccable safety record. Kids in our summer camp programs learn about themselves as they learn to live in the wilderness. The rugged terrain of the Trinity Alps provides a challenging and dramatic backdrop for outdoor adventure.
