The Fredericksburg SPCA has a robust Humane Education Program which offers youth programs to our community with opportunities for children and young adults to learn about animals and harness their compassionate nature. Programs will have sessions for kids ages 6 – 9, 10 – 13, and 14 – 16.
Compassionate Care Camp debuts during spring break and summertime as one-week-long sessions! Children enrolled in camp will meet at the facility for 3 hours each day from Monday through Friday. Our Camp Counselors cover topics such as how to care for animals, learning body language, animal-related careers, and much more. Each child will receive a camp t-shirt that they will get to tie-dye. Compassionate Care Camp also includes hands-on learning opportunities while working with animals.
