Critter Camp
Campers at Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Camp meet guest speakers from animal welfare professions and get to know a wide variety of animals. There are behind the scenes shelter tours and animal-themed arts and crafts projects, including art that helps showcase pets waiting to be adopted. Through engaging activities, children learn about being responsible stewards, both for animals and the world around them. SCCAS’ summer camp fosters understanding, respect and empathy toward all living beings.
All proceeds from this program benefit our county’s only Open Admission Shelter, serving animals in need in our community. Please contact Erika Smart erika.smart@santacruzcounty.us (831) 454-7229 with any questions!
