July 15th-19th, 2024 | 9a-12p | Williamson County Animal CenterDuring this exciting, week long "ed-venture," campers will spend time immersed in everything animal! Campers will partake in animal-related education activities, including games, crafts, guest speakers, and more! During their time with us your camper will learn about pet care basics, being a responsible pet guardian, and how to align choices with their values to help make our community a safer and more compassionate place for all animals.Instructor: Williamson County Animal Control Staff Camp Basics:•Be sure your camper is dressed appropriately for a day in the shelter and animal interaction.
