OHS camps operate on a 1:10 staff-to-camper ratio. While we are unable to provide one-on-one care, we do welcome personal support workers to accompany a child at camp. Arrangements for personal support workers must be made in advance of registration.

All our activities are geared towards teaching campers about animal care, handling and welfare. We aim for at least 45 minutes of animal interactions every day, but that can sometimes vary depending on animal availability and behaviour. Our top priority is the well-being and safety of both the campers and our animals.

We encourage all parents and guardians to discuss the needs of our shelter animals with their children to ensure they know what to expect from camp.

We’re bringing back Friday Pizza Lunches for summer and March break camps! Please be sure to include any allergies in your camper’s registration form.

Campers must bring their own lunch from Monday to Thursday, and two snacks daily for the entire week.

While we request that campers refrain from bringing products containing nuts to camps, the OHS is not a nut-free facility. Campers with EpiPens must present to camp daily with their EpiPen.
