KidsCamp! A Dog Gone Great Time!
Kids love dogs, but it is important that your children understand how to interact with our canine companions properly. In order to teach children boundaries and safety when it comes to animals, KidsCamp! created a week-long day camp for children aged seven and up.
Children and their dogs come to the camp where children learn how to read a dog’s body language and work with their pooch to accomplish a variety of tasks, including obedience and agility feats.
The camp runs in December during the Christmas break. Day campers will cost $495, while residential campers will cost $695.
