Camp Hours
Typically, camp will run from 9 am – 4 pm. During shorter breaks and one day camps, these days may be split into half day camps. For more specific hours, please look at the camp description.
Location
All camps take place in the Community and Training Center at Harbor Humane Society. Our address is 14345 Bagley St, West Olive, MI 49460.
Cost
Each camp has a different cost depending on the length of the program. Please see the details section for more information on the cost of each camp.
Cancellation Policy
Full refund may be provided with two week’s full notice of cancellation prior your scheduled attendance, minus a $10 processing fee. Refunds will not be provided without notice of cancellation and refunds cannot be provided during the scheduled week of camp.
Age Range
For most of our camps, we offer different sessions for various age groups, overall tailoring our programs for the 5-15 age range. Because our programming is designed for each specific age group, we ask that all participants register for their designated sessions. At this time, we do not make exceptions to the age requirements. Each of our camp sessions are designed for a specific age range as noted in the description.
Lunch & Snacks
Harbor Humane does not provide lunch for campers, so a lunch in a labeled bag or lunchbox (there is access to a fridge if needed) is required for each full-day camper. We will also have two snack breaks for full-day camps, so snacks are highly encouraged!
COVID Policies
At this time, we are strongly recommending that children who have been exposed or are feeling under the weather wear masks when attending any Harbor event. They will not be required at this time, but policies may change based on CDC recommendations, so please keep an eye on your emails and our website.
Additional Questions
If you have additional questions regarding any of our camps and policies, please contact Ashton VanKoevering at programs@harborhumane.org.
