Campers learn how animals are cared for in a shelter environment\, basic training skills\, and an introduction to veterinary services. There are a variety of sessions throughout each day led by Joybound staff plus lunch and snack breaks.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill my child interact with animals? \n\n\n\nYes\, following safety and care instructions. Throughout sessions\, dogs and cats will be introduced to campers for both skills learning and animal socialization. This is based on camper and animal safety and well-being\, as well as availability. Any camper who interacts inappropriately with Joybound animals will be removed from the situation immediately\, and parent/guardian contacted.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoes my child have to view clinic surgery? \n\n\n\nNo\, campers are not required to view clinic surgery – it is always optional. Camp Joybound includes information\, photos\, and live viewing of animal surgery. We welcome students to try the experience.
