SIGN UP FOR WEEK-LONG DAY CAMPS AT RANCHO COMPASIÓN, WHERE KIDS WILL SPEND EACH DAY OUTDOORS AT OUR BEAUTIFUL SANCTUARY. WE WILL CONNECT WITH THE ANIMAL RESIDENTS, LEARN ABOUT GROWING FOOD, DO ARTS & CRAFTS, PLAY GAMES, ENJOY NATURE, AND MORE!

Camp activities include:

  • Preparing food for the animal residents

  • Spending time and bonding with residents

  • Barn chores

  • Gardening — planting, weeding, mulching, composting, etc.

  • Scavenger hunts

  • Camp games and songs

  • Water games

  • Music

  • Yoga

  • Cooking with food from the garden

  • …and more!

Camps are open to children ages 5 — 11 years old (those entering elementary school through those entering middle school). High school students ages 14 — 18 years old may join us as CITs (counselors in training). CITs help our staff in setting up and leading camp activities, keeping track of the younger campers, with chores and projects, and other tasks as needed or based on specific individual goals. This is a great opportunity for teens to develop leadership skills, learn about gardening and animal care, and to spend summer time outdoors.

2024 Summer Camp

Four weeks of summer camp will be offered this year. We will spend each day with the animals and in the garden, planting, playing, exploring, and caring for the sanctuary residents. We may even learn a bit while we’re at it.

Campers will receive all food onsite, including lunch and two snacks (morning and afternoon) each day. This policy is to ensure we remain meat and dairy free at the sanctuary.
