Through NHES’s Humane Education Program, we strive to foster a sentiment of kindness to animals in children and adults. By nurturing the natural empathy that children feel toward other living beings, NHES hopes to instill in them kindness and respect toward their fellow humans as well as the animals who share their lives. Each summer, NHES offers the Cool To Care Camp for children entering grades 4-8. Campers have a terrific time each week as they participate in a variety of activities, such as: • Guest speakers and animal friends • A tour the adoption facility • Introduction to adoptable cats and dogs • Introduction to animal careers and “humane action” activities • Games, drama, and learning activities • Animal-related crafts and arts • Light snacks and drinks For each camp session—on the ending Fridays—the campers will perform an original play about animals. Parents, siblings, friends and teachers are invited and encouraged to attend!...
