Compassionate Care Camp – Foster and Adopt Week, Ages 6-9

Foster & Adopt Week – Discover how fostering and adoption change lives! Campers will hear inspiring pet adoption stories and take part in a “Rescue to Home” simulation, where they’ll learn the journey of a pet from intake to adoption. They’ll decorate adoption welcome kits for new pet families and create adoption-themed artwork to display in the shelter. The week will also include outdoor games, a science experiment, and a fun theme day like Mix-and-Match Outfit Day, ending with a heartwarming adoption celebration.
