Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA Takes Free Animal Camp On The Road

BURLINGAME, CA – The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS/SPCA) is offering a free Animal Camp to children ages 9-12 years old who live in East Palo Alto and surrounding areas starting July 3rd through July 7th. Camp will not take place on July 4th.

“For years we’ve held our Animal Camps at our shelter, but realized many children may not be able to make it to our shelter every day, so we have taken the camp on the road to the East Palo Alto area,” said PHS/SPCA Communications Manager Buffy Martin Tarbox.

Animal Camp is an opportunity for youth to learn more about animal welfare, interact with animals and have fun making pet toys and other crafts. The camp will be held at Willow Oaks School, 620 Willow Road, Menlo Park in the Ravenswood City School District. Enrollment is free and open to youth aged 9-12 years old and is based on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Our camps are designed to not only be educational, but fun too,” according to Martin Tarbox. “We want to be able to provide attention to each camper, so we limit our camp to only twenty children.”

Animal Camp runs from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. Each camper will need to bring a brown bag lunch, but snacks and drinks will be provided by PHS/SPCA.
