A week-long specialty program for ages 6-12 that teaches young animal enthusiasts about becoming a veterinarian.

Summer camp at the Humane Society is a great way for children to learn about responsible pet ownership, animal handling, and daily care in a safe and fun environment.

Our week long March Break Camp allows your little animal lover to cultivate their love for our furry friends in a safe, inclusive, and educational environment.

Leave the kids with us and give yourself a much-deserved morning off - get out and do some holiday shopping, go for brunch, or just enjoy a kid-free morning at home. The kids will receive a tour of our shelter and an animal meet and greet, followed by a movie and snack.

Children are invited to bring a stuffed animal to the Teddy Bear Clinic - we will teach you how to groom your stuffy, how to make a special ID tag for them, and more!

Little Tails is an interactive program series designed for little ones and their caregivers. It includes our Tiny Tails group (0 to 18m) and our Tots and Tails group (18m to 3y). The program combines age appropriate, engaging playtime with centre tours, and, if appropriate pets are available, gentle animal interactions.

Critter Club is a drop-in after school program for children ages 6-9. Each week, children will get to participate in engaging activities centred around animal care, education, and welfare. Participants can attend as many sessions as they would like - every week will be different!
