Houston SPCA's Critter Camp


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/01/2025
Does your child love animals and want to learn more about animal welfare? Then Houston SPCA’s Critter Camp is the place to be this summer! Our in-person camps include week-long adventures such as Vet Camp, Animal Rescue and Forensics, and Jr. Pet Pals. The day camps start Monday, June 2 and run each week through Friday, August 1 in the Carruth Education Center, located on the Houston SPCA campus. Campers who complete 2nd grade through eighth grade will meet real animal experts in the fields of veterinary medicine and Animal Cruelty Investigations, as well as animal rescue techs and wildlife specialists — with their native wild animal ambassadors in tow. And let’s not forget it is camp, so there will be lots of fun and games, along with plenty of cool crafts to be made. But it just wouldn’t be Critter Camp without critters, would it? Camp includes daily animal interactions with some of our adoptable pets because some of them enjoy the socialization just as much as our Campers do! The week-long adventure is only $385, with before and after care available for an additional cost.
