CCAS PARTICIPATES IN CITY OF CAPE CORAL KIDS CAMPS
Cape Coral Animal Shelter participated in city-wide Kids Camps over the summer of 2024 to promote how to properly interact with dogs and the care and responsibilities of owning a pet. Of course, each camp included plenty of hugs and kisses from our resident pups!
Since opening in 2020, each summer the shelter volunteers, in coordination with the City of Cape Coral Parks and Recreation Department, plan multiple “camps” at various locations. This year, Cape Coral Animal Shelter volunteers and pups traveled to several city locations including Four Freedoms Park, Oasis Elementary School, and the William “Bill” Austin Youth Center.
More camps were hosted by CCAS at the shelter where students had the opportunity to see firsthand the work that goes into caring for 100+ animals. In all, over 485 kids attended the camps, learned about the responsibilities of owning a pet, and, as you can see by their smiling faces—had a GREAT time!
“Our thanks to everyone at Parks and Rec for including us in these events and to our own volunteer, Tom Ellegood, who coordinated all these events on our end” said Liz McCauley, Executive Director of the Cape Coral Animal Shelter. “We are very proud to be such an important part of our city and help make Cape Coral a wonderful place to live. We hope the kids will remember their summer camps fondly.”
