Send your young animal lover to a week of fun at Camp Kindness at the ARL!

This half-day camp, held August 4th–8th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., is designed for kids entering 2nd through 4th grade and offers hands-on learning, crafts, games, and plenty of time with shelter animals—all centered around kindness, empathy, and animal care.

Whether your child comes for the animals, the fun activities, or to make a difference, Camp Kindness is the purr-fect way to spend a summer morning!

Spots are limited, so sign up soon to give your child a week they'll never forget—and help animals in need along the way.

Cost is $150 per child, and space is limited, so be sure to sign up by July 26 to reserve your spot!

Important: All campers must have a signed waiver on file to participate. The waiver form will be included in your registration confirmation—please be sure to complete and return it before the first day of camp!
