Unleashed Camps

Have an animal-loving kiddo in your family? Don’t miss sending them to our Unleashed Camps during school vacation weeks and summer break!

Both educational and fun, camp programming is designed to teach children age-appropriate animal welfare topics and curriculum. Daily activities include hands-on interactions with shelter animals, educational games, arts and crafts projects, guest speakers, and more. Camps are held in our humane education classroom at our adoption and community center.

NEW THIS YEAR:

We are so grateful for our return campers each year and equally love it when we see new faces!

In an effort for parents to have a clear understanding of what a camp week entails at the ARLGP, we created this slide presentation for your review about some important things to know before signing up for camp. Please feel free to reach out directly should you have any follow up questions.
