A One-of-a-Kind Hands-On Puppy Camp
Play Dog Play Puppy Camp offers a fun, meaningful, and completely hands-on experience where kids ages 8–12 learn empathy, responsibility, leadership, and confidence through working with rescue puppies and caring for farm animals.
Held on a 13-acre working sheep ranch, this camp is 100% screen-free and full of unforgettable real-world experiences.
Your Camper’s Puppy Partner
Each camper is matched with one rescue puppy (ages 8 weeks–6 months) for the entire week.
This consistent pairing helps build trust, confidence, and training progress.
Puppies are provided through local rescues, including PlayK9Rescue.
Campers may bring their own dog with camp approval.
