Camp Canine, Inc.

A day in the life...

We know that it is stressful for any dog to be away from his family pack regardless of how nice the new environment may be. Because of this we have designed a daily routine to care for both physical and psychological needs and to ease any stress.
 

A Day in the Life...

Even as a member, unscheduled drops offs are not a preferred method to bring your camper. The counselors need time to prepare for your camper's visit. Overnight reservations should be made at a minimum of a day in advance by phone or email. More notice is preferable to make sure all health requirements are met. However, if you have an emergency situation that arises please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. 

• 7AM - Campers go out for morning potty.

  • Throughout the day, when the campers go out for potty/play time, the counselors will check their rooms, clean as needed, and top off the water bowls.

• 8AM - Breakfast time. Campers must rest a minimum of one hour after breakfast before physical activity.

  • If a camper has medications, then we will administer them after they have eaten their AM or PM meal. Odd hour medications can be accommodated.

• Around 10AM - Morning playgroup.

  • Campers are grouped for play time based on size and temperament.

  • Morning and afternoon playgroups will either be outside in one of our large play areas or inside in the gym or community room.

  • Weather determines the area of play.

• 12PM - Campers go in for mid-day rest.

• 1PM - Afternoon playgroup.

  • Campers will rotate to our grassy playground or to the pool, depending on weather and time of year.

• 3:45PM - Campers go to their rooms to rest before dinner. Campers must have a minimum of one hour to rest before the evening meal.

• 5PM - Dinner time.

• 8PM - Evening potty. The campers will have time to go potty and get a little more social time.

• 9PM - Bedtime. The campers will go their rooms to tuck in for the night. The counselors will finish up their cleaning routines and then check on each camper. The counselors usually finish up by 10PM.

This schedule is the same 365 days a year. On holidays we close the business office to allow our counselors uninterrupted time with the campers.

​

All overnight campers are sent home with an informative “Report Card” which are notes on how your camper did during their visit. Counselors are available to discuss the visit if you have any questions. We also keep all records of medications administered, upset stomachs, eating, and behavior for one year after each visit.

​

Friendly Reminder

Campers may get scratched and roughed up a little when playing, campers use their mouths, teethe, and feet when playing, sometimes a small injury will occur. Please expect to see these types of things on occasion. Our counselors will make you aware of any active aggression; otherwise do not be alarmed by scratches or minor teeth marks. Any noticeable issues are discussed with parents.
