  • Allergies:

    Camp is not recommended for children with allergies to pets, pet dander or nuts. Camp is held on a campus that houses more than 200 dogs and cats. Dogs are given peanut butter daily and many treats contain nut allergens. For this reason, we do not recommend that children with these allergies attend camps at JHS. Please email education@jaxhumane.org for more information.


  • RELEASE FORM

    As legal parent or guardian, I give permission for {camperName} to attend Camp. I hereby release the Jacksonville Humane Society, its agents, employees, directors and all liability insurance carriers from all action, damages or judgments which may occur now or in the future, for all injuries arising out of the activities while attending Camp. I acknowledge and am aware that this program involves certain inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, walking on uneven ground, opening and closing gates and kennels, walking, playing and interacting with cats and dogs as approved by staff, weather and other people’s actions.

    While the Jacksonville Humane Society will make every attempt to provide reasonable accommodations for mentally and physically challenged children, the Jacksonville Humane Society will not accept children who are (1) a danger to themselves, (2) a danger to others, (3) a danger to the animals, or (4) a disruption to the normal activities making it unreasonably difficult for other children to enjoy Camp. Any of the above reasons will be grounds for dismissal. We strongly recommend that you discuss with staff any special conditions or circumstances involving your child. We request that you do this PRIOR to registration so that we can advise you as to whether we can make a reasonable accommodation for your child. 

    In the event of an emergency and my emergency contact person cannot be reached, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by the Jacksonville Humane Society to hospitalize, secure proper treatment for, and to order injections, anesthesia or surgery for the individual named on this application. I understand that no accident or medical insurance is provided with this activity.

    I give my permission to the Jacksonville Humane Society to use, without limitation or obligation, photographs, film footage, or audio recordings that include my child’s image or voice for purpose of promoting or interpreting Jacksonville Humane Society programs. 

    Cancellations must be made at least two weeks prior to the camp start date and must be received in writing via email or fax to qualify for a 50% refund. A processing fee may occur for refunds. A charge may occur to change dates after registration is complete.

    The Jacksonville Humane Society will not issue refunds if registered students miss camp dates. The Jacksonville Humane Society reserves the right to cancel Camp due to insufficient enrollment. In that case, refunds will be issued.
