The Sacramento SPCA’s Camp Kindness is a fun-filled way for kids to
learn more about dogs, cats, and other companion animals. Camp Kindness is
designed to foster awareness about animals, and will include games, crafts,
tours, guest speakers, animal socialization, pet-related education, professional demonstrations, veterinary observation, discussions, and plenty of fun!

Important Info
Because of the popularity of Camp Kindness, we are taking registration on
a first-come, first-served basis. All applications must be received no later
than June 1, but we recommend submitting yours as early as possible.
Sessions will probably be full prior to the deadline. Your application
must be completed in full, and payment must accompany your application.
When your application is received, please allow 7 days to receive
confirmation by email of your child’s enrollment. If Camp Kindness sessions are
full at the time your application and payment are received, you will be notified
and your check will be returned to you by mail.
Your child must be within the age range for the session(s) you
request. We are offering three sessions for ages 7-9 and three sessions for
ages 10-12. Please don’t ask us to make exceptions for your child to accommodate
your family’s schedule or to keep different-aged siblings together. Children under age 7 are not eligible to attend.
Volunteer Assistant Camp Counselors are needed! Must be at least 14
years old. See our Assistant Camp Counselors page for details and an application.
Questions?
If you have questions, please contact Dee Dee Drake, the SPCA’s Humane Education Manager, at (916) 504-2849, or email humane education (preferred). Please do not leave messages asking whether a particular session is full. This page will be updated as soon as we know a session is full, and it is not possible for us to say over the phone or by email whether there will be space available in a particular session by the time your application arrives.
