The BC SPCA is hosting summer camps for kids in Maple Ridge throughout July and August.
At the Maple Ridge facility at 10235 Jackson Rd., there are Action for Animals camps for kids aged 8-10, running in July; a junior camp for ages 6-7 from July 28 to 31, and camps for ages 11-13, in the first two weeks of August.
Participants will have the opportunity to connect with the BC SPCA and other animal-loving kids. The camps and workshops include a variety of animal-themed indoor and outdoor activities, games and crafts. Participants also get to go on a shelter tour to see how the BC SPCA runs and observe some of the animals in care. There are also visits from guest speakers. The SPCA wants kids and teens to leave feeling more knowledgeable about animal issues and more empowered to make a difference.
The four-day programs cost $270.
A bursary program is available for all BC SPCA youth programs. Parents/guardians who wish to apply may fill out the online application form prior to program registration.
