March Break Camp
At March Break Critter Camp, kids make friends, meet animals, and learn through play to understand and care for them with kindness and respect.
Overview
March Break Critter Camp gives kids a chance to explore the work of a humane society. Through games, crafts, presentations, and guest speakers, campers learn what animals need, why they behave as they do, and how we can share our neighbourhoods with wildlife.
They’ll discover how GHS helps animals in our community and what they can do to help, too. Animal visits are included when appropriate for the animals and campers. Children can attend one day or join us throughout March Break.
