School Break & Holiday Animal Camps

School’s back in session! What could be a better way to spend your holidays than making friends, playing outrageous games, and hanging out with amazing animals who need your help? At Animal Camp, you will learn how to train and care for animals, be a responsible animal guardian, and make your community a safer place for pets. But you are not the only one who will have fun…our shelter animals will love some of your attention and TLC.

The SF SPCA is happy to offer this opportunity to mature, respectful young people. We are looking for campers who want to build on their love for furry friends by learning how to provide a lifetime of love and care for companion animals. Our camps promote kindness and compassion for all creatures.
