About this Event
CHS Summer Camp
Calgary Humane Society Summer Camp is a place where kids build meaningful connections with animals. Our goal is to create opportunities for children to interact with, learn about, and develop empathy for the animals that share our world.
Led by enthusiastic instructors, dedicated volunteers, and supported by our friendly animal ambassadors, each camp week offers an enriching experience filled with fun activities, creative crafts, and hands‑on learning. As campers explore and play, they also learn about respect, compassion, and the lifelong responsibility of caring for animals.
All activities are designed to be age‑appropriate and developmentally suitable. For campers who wish to attend multiple weeks, each week features a unique theme to ensure fresh and diverse experiences.
Throughout their time with us, campers will discover animal characteristics and behavior, learn proper pet care, and meet a variety of species, including bunnies, cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, and more!
Theme Description: Volun-Teens (Grades 7-9)
Is your teenager eager to gain hands-on volunteer experience in animal care? Do they love learning, take responsibility seriously, and dream of helping animals in need? Then this unique camp at the Calgary Humane Society is the perfect fit!
Designed as a pre-volunteer experience, this engaging camp gives teens the opportunity to train in 1–2 age-appropriate volunteer roles at the shelter (primarily focused on cats). Campers will take part in meaningful, hands-on assistant tasks while learning about animal care needs and how to read and understand animal body language.
Beyond the practical experience, campers will also enjoy interactive games and safe animal interactions making this an unforgettable week of learning, growth, and fun!
