Rescue Ranch Critter Camps are designed to be a fun, educational camp experience for children who love animals. All camps involve daily interaction with animals, games, crafts, STEM activities, and our 10,000 sq ft inclusive playground. Campers will learn how to care for animals, provide enrichment, and to promote humane animal care to others.
We have limited scholarships available for children from families needing a helping-hand. Scholarships will cover a portion of the camp registration fees. The Education Scholarship Committee will review your application and will award a limited number of scholarships based on need.
Campers will learn as they play games, complete STEM activities, and spend time with our animal ambassadors! Campers will also get time on our 10,000 sq ft playground, as well as time on our nature trails (weather dependent)!
Cost: $50 per child per day ($45 if registered by 11/01), $175 if register for all 4 days ($160 if registered by 11/01)

Space in the program is limited, unfortunately, & we regret that we are unable to accept every application.
