The future leaders of tomorrow are created today. At Camp Solutionary, campers will learn the importance of protecting our planet and those who call it home. The centerpiece of their week will be choosing an issue facing animals to learn more about, and, at the end of the week, taking an action of their choosing to start creating change. They will develop solutionary skills they can apply anywhere in their lives at every step of the way. Importantly, they will also explore mindfulness techniques to benefit their own well-being, and, of course, will enjoy time taking care of R2R’s animal residents.

Slots for camp are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. After completing the form below, you will hear from a member of the R2R team within one (1) business day at the email you provide. If you are offered a space at camp, you will have three (3) days to complete payment and the required forms, or you risk losing your child’s spot. Please check your spam folder if you do not see an email in your inbox.

We hope to see you at camp!

Imagine a world where compassion is spread between humans, animals, and the planet.

At Camp Compassion, we help children become citizens that make that world a reality. Campers will spend time with R2R’s animal residents, learn how to take care of them, and discuss how different species are the same and how they are different. They will be introduced to mindfulness and practice identifying their emotions. And, they will spread their artistic wings with creative thinking and drawing activities. Along the way, they will discover their own circle of compassion and learn how to spread kindness anywhere they go.
