2026 HSOY Summer Camps
Give your child a summer filled with compassion, curiosity, and hands-on learning! At the Humane Society of Yuma’s Summer Camps, kids connect with animals while discovering how to care for, understand, and advocate for all animals. Each week is designed to be engaging, age-appropriate, and full of meaningful experiences- from meeting animal ambassadors to exploring real-life shelter work and much, much more!
Whether your child dreams of helping animals or just loves being around them, this is a place where kindness grows, confidence builds, and every camper leaves knowing they can make a difference.
