Mission: Animals As Natural Therapy strengthens our community by developing healthy, resilient individuals through animal-assisted education and personal growth.

Programs: Animals as Natural Therapy offers week-long day camps in the summer (ages 8-15); Kidz Dayz (Saturday camps) in spring and fall (ages 3-8); Family Farm Days for families living in shelters, Headstart, and other groups; school and university internships, and community education. Also our youth and animal partners visit elders in extended care facilities. We offer year-round programs for youth with behavioral and psycho-social challenges both living at home and living in residential treatment facilities and in recovery programs.
