DSPCA Summer Camp for Children

Pixied

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has some feedback on this camp?

My son, 9, loves animals, wants a dog in the future and I'd like him to have some exposure to other animals and their care first. I thought this might be a nice idea. (We have a cat already)

The only thing is it's €195 per child, so it would be nice to have some general feedback before I book 🙂

Thanks

I never heard of it before. That seems a lot alright. You can send him around to my house and he will get plenty of exposure to all sorts of animals.

Joking aside, maybe email them & see exactly what he would be getting for that price? Otherwise have you any dog owning friends that would allow him to help out under supervision. I am doing this myself this summer with friends who can't have a dog.

Thanks a mill for the offer :P

DSPCA have some info on their website. I was just looking for some first hand info.

I have a relative who has been letting him mind her dog sometimes, I just thought he might get something a bit more varied out of this camp. I'd say he would really enjoy it too.

Thanks

If you think he would enjoy it then it is probably money well spent. My youngest daughter does Summer Camp and absolutely loves it.
