Northshore Humane Society is excited to invite children ages 6–11 to participate in our 2026 Summer Camp, proudly presented by Hancock Whitney. This year’s camp, Mission: Paws of the Galaxy, takes campers on a fun, space-themed journey focused on caring for and understanding our furry friends.

Through interactive games, hands-on activities, creative projects, and supervised pet interaction, campers will explore the world of companion animals in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Children will learn the importance of pet safety, nutrition, grooming, communication, behavior, and basic veterinary care, all while developing empathy, responsibility, and respect for animals.

Campers will also have the opportunity to meet animal experts, guest speakers, and shelter staff, participate in meaningful service projects that support homeless pets, and enjoy special interactions with rescued dogs and cats. Each child will symbolically adopt a shelter animal during their week at camp, creating a personal connection to the mission of animal welfare.

If you have any questions, please contact us at mmartin@nshumane.org

 

Each week of camp features new and exciting space-themed activities, designed to keep learning fun and engaging. Activities include:

  • Helping care for rescued pets at our facility

  • Learning responsible pet ownership, safety, and advocacy

  • Exploring pet nutrition, grooming, and enrichment

  • Understanding pet behavior and communication

  • Participating in crafts, games, and interactive missions

  • Supervised interaction with shelter dogs and cats
