For the last week of June, campers at the Mars Petcare Dog Science Camp had a ‘paws-itive’ experience learning about dogs and bonding with their furry companions. This was the 12th year that the Edgerton Explorit Center hosted the camp as part of its series of summer programs for area youth.
Campers like eighth grader Justin Brainard were able to meet and interact with dogs in a fun and educational setting. They participated in activities such as an obstacle course where they guided their furry companions through hoops and tunnels. They also learned about dog behavior, grooming, training, and nutrition.
One camper, Asher Heiss, had a blast jumping through a hoop with his furry companion, Leo, during the closing dog show. The highlight of the camp was the closing dog show where campers and their dogs showcased their skills and tricks they learned throughout the week.
The Mars Petcare Dog Science Camp provided a unique opportunity for campers to bond with their dogs and learn more about these beloved animals. It was a fun and educational experience that allowed them to learn together in a hands-on environment and create lasting memories with their furry friends. The camp continues to be a popular summer program at the Edgerton Explorit Center, providing valuable lessons and experiences for all who attend.
