Critter Club
At Critter Club, kids make friends, meet animals, and learn how to understand and care for them through stories, crafts, and activities.
Overview
Critter Club is an eight-week program for children in Grades 1–6. Each Thursday, children explore a new topic through animal-themed activities and crafts. They’ll learn about the work of the Guelph Humane Society, what different animals need, and ways they can help animals in our community.
Animal visits take place when they are comfortable and appropriate for the animals and children. Families can register for the full series or book individual weeks.
