Welcome to the spcaLA's spring camp information page. We are glad to see that you are interested in the spcaLA's 1st annual spring camp.
spcaLA's spring camp is a week-long camp filled with animal-related fun for kids ages 9-12. At the camp, kids will learn the basics of pet care and responsibility, respect for all animals, and the beginnings of dog training -- all while having fun with friends! Kids will participate in animal related games, activities and crafts, learn from guest speakers, see dog training demos, and do obedience and agility training with shelter dogs and cats.
The spcaLA’s inaugural spring camp will take place at the South Bay Pet Adoption Center located at 12910 Yukon Ave., Hawthorne, CA 90250. The fee to attend camp is $250.00 per week.
The dates for each camp session are:
Session 1: March 29th – April 2nd
Session 2: April 5th – April 9th
The camp will run Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Parents will be allowed to drop-off campers no earlier than 8:45 AM.
Important Additional Information:
After your registration is complete and your child has been accepted, a confirmation email will be sent to you. This packet will include a confirmation of the camp session are registered for and requirements.
Here are some reminders about spcaLA's spring camp:
• Camp is for children ages 9-12 only. If your child is not 9 years old by the start of the session in which they are enrolled, they will not be allowed to attend. Proof of age may be required if it is suspected that your child is younger than 9 years old.
• Drop off begins at 8:45 AM. Pick up time for the spcaLA's spring camp is 3:00 PM. Anytime after 3:00 PM is considered late, and there will be a charge of $15.00. If you are later than 3:30, it will be considered abandonment, and the police will be called to escort your child home safely.
• Lunch is not provided, so each camper should bring a sack lunch every day.
• One camp t-shirt is included in the cost. You may purchase additional t-shirts for $15.00 each.
• Long pants and closed-toe shoes must be worn for dog training. Shorts can be worn to camp, but each camper must change into pants prior to dog training or they will not be allowed to work with the dogs.
• spcaLA does not guarantee the use of shelter dogs. It is up to the discretion of the spcaLA whether or not shelter dogs can safely be used during spring camp.
• Participating in spcaLA's spring camp means that each and every camper will be working hands on with shelter animals. Although the spcaLA staff takes the precautions necessary to ensure your child's safety and health, there is an inherent risk that occurs when working with shelter animals. These risks include but are not limited to: bodily injury, illness/parasites, unforeseen allergies, etc. By signing the signature line below, you are accepting that you understand these risks.
