If you live in an apartment or can’t keep as many animals as your children would like, here’s a great opportunity for them to meet and interact with different animal species.
The Humane Society Silicon Valley offers its “Amazing Animals” summer camp this year, giving children a chance to learn about animals and how to help them.
Children meet with animal care experts and see animals such as birds of prey, snakes and tortoises as well as practice socialization techniques with animals up for adoption at the Humane Society.
