UNLEASHED is an animal-themed summer day camp at the Animal Humane Society. Unleashed campers entering grades 3-12 spend a full week immersed in animal learning and fun. Each week includes animal-related educational activities, animal interactions, visits from special guests, field trips, and more. Campers also Unleash their big hearts by completing service projects to benefit the animals of the Animal Humane Society.

For students in grades 8-12, we offer a special "Critter Careers" week. In addition to many of the same activities our younger campers enjoy, this week has a special focus on animal-related careers. Campers will meet and learn from experts in a variety of career fields, both within and outside the Animal Humane Society.

The Unleashed program has ended for 2009.  Information about Unleashed 2010 will be available on this page in January.

Please note: While shelter animals are an important part of Unleashed, time in our adoption center is very limited and closely monitored. Students will have daily opportunities for contact with a variety of animals, including shelter animals and visiting guests, but should not expect to spend significant amounts of time with animals waiting for adoption.
