Junior Humane Society Day Camp 2016
The Humane Society of St. Joseph County is dedicated to the education of our community’s youth. Throughout the year we have visited dozens of students in local schools and hosted many youth events at the shelter. Junior Humane Society offers a chance for a more one-on-one experience that will instill lifelong animal knowledge and compassion.
Junior Humane Society is a one week day camp that takes place from 9am-4pm Monday– Friday. Campers are asked to bring a bagged lunch and a drink except for on the day we visit a local farm where pizza & drinks will be provided. A camp tee-shirt will also be given to each Jr. Humane camper.
