This program is recommended for children ages 5 and up and their caregivers. An adult chaperone is required to register and attend with any registered child.
Please Note: This program will take place mainly outdoors, but will have an indoor portion for the safety and comfort of our animals. In the event of severe weather, the entire program will be held entirely indoors.
Cancellation Policy: Notices received at least 7 days before the scheduled program are eligible to receive a 50% refund. Due to processing fees, full refunds are not available. Cancellations within 7 days of a program are not eligible for a refund. Please come prepared for the elements as refunds are not available for weather-related conditions except in the case of severe weather. If Blandford cancels a program due to severe weather, you will have two options: transfer your registration to the reschedule date or donate your registration fee. In the event we are unable to reschedule the program, full refunds will be available. All community programs will have a registrant minimum.
