All sessions convene in the Oregon Humane Society's Education Auditorium from 9:30 am until 4 pm.

 

The week-long and three-day Shelter Friends Day Camps give children experience with animals as well as the knowledge that all things, whether human or animal, need love and affection.

 

Campers may choose an animal to promote and help get adopted. They are involved with the socializing, training, and grooming OHS pets. In addition, campers have discussions with the animal experts from OHS as well as guest speakers, such as visits with dog trainers, OHS Humane Investigations staff, the Reptile man, and others who work with animals. A unique camp t-shirt and daily snack is provided.
