Why families choose camp

A home, not a kennel run

Dogs stay in our home environment, which lowers stress and gives each guest a familiar overnight space and a private, comfortable bunk.

Room to run

Days include mind stimulating play in the Canine Camp Playground, supervised outdoor exercise, and walks in the serene countryside.
