What is C.A.R.E. Camp
C.A.R.E. Summer Break Camp is PVAS's signature youth program, a week-long, in-person camp experience held at the Laurie P. Andrews Center in Edinburg. Campers get an up-close look at how a nonprofit animal shelter operates while building real skills in animal handling, compassion, and community service.
Each session runs Monday through Friday, with activities guided by PVAS staff and volunteers. Space is limited — register early to secure your spot.
