Humane Society of Tampa Bay Critter Camp

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay’s (HSTB) most popular educational program is more exciting than ever! Critter Camp runs all summer long and during school breaks throughout the school year.

Critter Camp (ages 7-10)

Campers will learn about being responsible caregivers to pets, how to stay safe around animals, different animal careers, what the HSTB does, and much more. Campers will help with shelter activities, play games, make animal-themed crafts and, of course, spend lots of time with the shelter animals.

Critters Career Camp (ages 11-13)

During this special hands-on summer camp program, campers will learn about a variety of different animal careers, animal behavior and training, animal conservation efforts, what the HSTB does and how we are helping animals in our community, and much more. Campers will help with shelter activities, enjoy guest speakers, tour the animal hospital, learn about animal conservation efforts, and, of course, spend lots of time with our shelter animals while learning about different animal-related careers. Campers will be expected to participate in all activities, so being comfortable around animals is recommended.
