Bring Out Their Wild Side
Discovery in the great outdoors!
Discover Wildlife Summer Camp is a five-day camp where kids ages 6 to 11 learn about native Indiana bird and mammal species and how they live.
There are two camp sessions available: June 11-15 | July 9-13
Camp takes place at Humane Indiana’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, 566 N 450 E, Valparaiso, IN, from 9 am-2 pm. Campers are asked to bring their own lunches but snack and water will be provided.
Camp Info:
Registration fee is $150 per week. Camp size is limited.
Each week we will experience a different and exciting theme, both Fun and Educational.
Examples of recent topics include:
Animal Careers (June 11-15)
Does your child want to work with animals when they grow up? There are so many different types of animal careers that allow people to work with and help the animals, domestic and wild. Summer camp will explore the different animal careers that help make Humane Indiana a community leader in animal care.
Native Neighbors (July 9-13)
Join us as we explore the outdoors and become introduced to our native wildlife neighbors. Campers will learn about native birds and mammal species as well as the importance of protecting the environment they live in. Through interactive games, meeting our wildlife ambassadors, and exploring the hiking trails, campers learn the importance of Humane Indiana's mission, the humane treatment of all.
