Weather Policy
Wilde Critter Camp is an outdoor-focused program, and most activities take place outside.
- Camp will continue during light rain or warm weather, so campers should come prepared with appropriate clothing.
- In the event of severe weather (lightning, heavy storms, or unsafe heat conditions), activities may be moved indoors or modified for safety.
- If weather conditions make camp unsafe to operate, families will be notified by email or phone with any schedule updates.
Animal Interaction Safety
A core part of Wilde Critter Camp is learning how to safely and respectfully interact with animals.

To protect both campers and animals, the following rules apply:
- Campers must follow all instructions from camp educators when interacting with animals.
- Animals may only be touched when a staff member says it is safe to do so.
- Campers must use gentle hands and calm voices around animals.
- Running, shouting, or rough behavior near animals is not allowed.
- Campers may not feed animals unless directed by staff.
- Our goal is to help children develop respect, empathy, and responsible behavior toward wildlife and animals.

- Refunds will not be issued for no-shows or missed camp days.
- Date changes apply only to currently scheduled camp sessions and cannot be carried over to future years.
Refund Policy

- a camp credit for a future session within the same calendar year, or
- a refund minus a $50 administrative fee per camper.
- Cancellations made within 14 days of the camp start date are not eligible for refunds.
