Camps

The Virginia Beach SPCA offers Spring Break and Summer day camps for children ages 6-12.
These week-long camps offer a behind-the-scenes look at an animal shelter, guest speakers, animal inspired arts and crafts, field trips, critter time, and more. These camps are the perfect opportunity for young animal lovers to build compassion, make new friends, learn about careers in animal services, and spend time with a variety of critters.

The summer months also include VBSPCA workshop weeks, offering one-day workshops in a camp-like setting. Children can participate in one day of the workshop week or they can participate in multiple days. Our workshop weeks include our popular Vet for a Day Workshops, Kitten Around Workshop, and a new Bow-Wow Workshop. You can learn more about the workshops here.
