Important Notes:

• DCHS utilizes peanut butter for animal enrichment throughout the shelter, and is unable to provide a peanut-free facility. We are unable to make accommodations for children with severe peanut allergies.
• Campers will not be able to pet adoptable dogs, cats, or critters. They will spend a lot of time with our classroom animals and sometimes guest animal visitors, but they are not allowed to touch any of the adoptable animals in other parts of the shelter. This is for the safety of our animals and campers. We have struggled with campers following this rule in the past, so please make sure your camper knows about this rule before their camp week starts.
• Campers will need to bring a packed lunch and their own snack(s). DCHS will not be providing snacks this year. 
• Camp Pawprint staff is not trained to handle all emotional and behavioral conditions. If your child has a one-on-one teacher or aide at school, then you must provide an aide for them to attend camp. We do not have the staff to provide constant individual attention for each child.
