The Helen Woodward Animal Center has offered Critter Camp for 40 years! The money raised goes right back to help the animals found in this unique, private, non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of animals and enriching the lives of people. For more than 30 years, our no-kill Center has provided humane care and animal adoption for orphaned animals, as well as animal-centered educational and therapeutic programs for people. The Center is a dynamic, evolving institution that is an agent of change for the animal welfare world. Not only are we operating innovative and beneficial programs for animals and people, but we are teaching others around the world how to successfully market and promote their animal adoption and humane programs and stop the senseless death of thousands of animals.
My daughter, Danielle, is 6 and loves animals! She would be able to go to camp the week of 7/9 or 8/6. She’s always pretending to be a cat – we call her DC Kitty! And she is determined to have a horse when she grows up!
