Camp runs from Monday through Friday, from 9:30 am to 4 pm. Please arrive no earlier than 9:20 am and plan to be picked up at 4 pm. It is very important that campers be picked up on time because we do not have facilities or staff to supervise children after camp is over. When camp counselors return to volunteer during their two camp sessions, they will arrive at 9 am.
Camp takes place at OHS (1067 NE Columbia Blvd., Portland) in the Education Hall.
We hope so! Some camp activities will build on ones from previous days, so you might miss out on something important if you miss too much time. If you need to miss a day, just let us know.
Animals, animals, animals! We’ll talk about many different kinds of animals and how we relate to them in our world. We will do a variety of activities, crafts, projects, and games. We will also have some interesting guest speakers.
Yes! You will meet cats, dogs, rabbits and rodents at camp. You will get a chance to hang out with shelter animals and give them some love. We will have some other animal visitors, too.
Bring a lunch and water bottle every day. A healthy afternoon snack will be provided. If your child has special dietary needs, you may want to pack a snack for them.
You should wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. You never know when a dog will drool on you or a cat will shed some fur on your shirt. You must wear long pants and closed-toed shoes every day.
