Each camp theme will have its own unique schedule for each day. This day may include animal socialization and interactions, arts and crafts, guest speakers, service projects and more. Activities may vary by session and schedules are subject to change. All campers will have a lunch break, and campers in grades 1-5 will also be provided with a snack break. For the safety of your child and our pets, no participant will be permitted to handle any pet while attending the program. Any animal interaction will be led by and under the supervision of a SAHS staff member. It should be noted that while this program takes place at the San Antonio Humane Society, your child should not expect to spend the entire day working with pets.

Each participant will need to bring their lunch in a lunch box or disposable bag and a reusable water bottle that is clearly labeled with their name. Please note that refrigerated space is not available. Products containing nuts are strictly prohibited from Camp Humane. Any items containing nuts, including but not limited to granola bars, peanut butter or Nutella, candies, cereals, etc. will be promptly confiscated and disposed of. An alternative snack or meal will be provided in the event that an item is mistakenly sent with your camper. Campers should also remember to wear their Camp Humane t-shirt for each day of camp.

Participants should wear their Camp Humane t-shirt, closed-toe shoes with rubber, non-slip soles, and pants or shorts of at least knee-length. Participants will receive their camper t-shirt upon arrival to the program and will be allowed to change into their shirts in the bathrooms. Please keep in mind that some activities throughout the day may cause damage to your child’s clothing. Clothing or headwear containing images of violence, profanity, or discrimination are not permitted. For the health and safety of your camper, be advised that campers who are not within the dress code may not be able to participate in certain activities, including animal interactions.

Yes! Additional shirts will be available for purchase. A t-shirt add-on will be available during the registration process. If you decide after registration that you would like to purchase an additional shirt, please coordinate with an SAHS Humane Educator.

Campers will be checked in and out at the entrance of the Linda and Mike Curb Education Center located at 4804 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78229.

Check-in will run from 8:45 AM-9:00 AM. Upon arrival, please ring the doorbell and wait for a SAHS team member to greet you. A SAHS team member will then escort your camper into the building. Please allow approximately 10 minutes for check-in.

Pick-up will run from 2:45 PM-3:00 PM. Upon arrival, please ring the doorbell and wait for a SAHS team member to greet you. Once you’ve been greeted, a SAHS team member will verify the identity of the pick-up person. Any person attempting to pick up a child from camp will be required to show a valid state or military-issued photo ID. This person must also be listed on the authorized pick-up list provided during registration. Upon verification, a SAHS team member will escort your camper out to you. Please allow approximately 5-10 minutes for pick-up. Campers whose parents have not checked in for pick-up by 3:00 PM and have not previously purchased Extended Care will be charged the daily fee of $15. Please refer to the Fees, Rescheduling, and Cancellations section of the Parent Handbook.

We ask that families adhere to the scheduled drop-off and pick-up times as much as possible to minimize disruptions from scheduled activities and lessons. If you are running late to drop off your camper, please call as soon as possible at (210) 226-7461 ext. 140. Camp may already be in progress and your camper may miss activities or presentations that cannot be made up.

If you need to pick up your camper early, please communicate your pick-up time with a SAHS team member upon drop off in the morning. In the event of an emergency that will require your camper be picked up early, please call (210) 226-7461 ext. 140.
