Critter Camp
Critter Camp is the Cheyenne Animal Shelter’s day camp for children who have completed kindergarten through fifth grade. This camp, now in its seventh year, is an excellent educational opportunity for children. Campers learn how to treat animals with compassion and respect. Children attending camp interact with a variety of animals from the shelter and the community, learn about animals from local experts, and participate in games, crafts and educational worksheets. The cost is $150 per camper or $125 per camper if more than one child is enrolled. This year's dates for camp are:
July 11-15, 2011 (3-5)
July 18-22, 2011 (K-5)

The Pet Loss Support Group meets every third Tuesday of the month at 7pm at the Laramie County Library.
Losing a pet, or facing the loss of a sick or elderly pet can be one of the most devastating and painful experiences we face. Everyone is encouraged to come and join others who understand grief and the loss of a best friend. Please bring a picture of your beloved pet.
