LEAP Summer Camp 2026

Animal Place’s Kids’ Summer Camp for incoming 6th-8th graders will run from July 27-31. Curriculum and interactive workshops are hosted every day from 10:00 am-3:00 pm, starting Monday, July 27th. Students will have the opportunity to work hands-on with farmed animals and learn how to provide them with care. They’ll tackle challenges in climate change, animal welfare, and the food system through interactive workshops, and they’ll learn skills and tasks to thrive as leaders. What is LEAP? LEAP (Leaders for Ethics, Animals, and the Planet) is a revolutionary humane education program providing students across the nation with a compassionate alternative to traditional agriculture programs like 4H and FFA. Taught by participating farmed animal sanctuaries, LEAP combines interactive curriculum modules with hands-on learning activities, leadership training, and real-world skill development. LEAP aims to prepare the next generation of changemakers to tackle the challenges of animal cruelty, climate change, food deserts, and habitat loss, and encourages them to devise solutions for a more compassionate, sustainable food system.
