Activities For Kids

Our Robins-Starr Humane Center is a great place for children. Kids can have a birthday party, attend one of our summer camps, tour our busy humane center and veterinary hospital or join our Animal Brigade Service Club.

Birthday Parties

Kids Club Box
Kids Club Boxes are engaging and interactive educational activities and crafts for home.

Critter Camp
Every summer we offer fun and educational week-long half-day and full-day camps for children between the ages of 6 and 13. The Richmond SPCA will be offering both in-person and camp-in-a-box options for Summer 2024.

Animal Brigade Service Club
Animal Brigade is for middle school students (grades 6 through 8) to learn more about their four-legged friends and how to help them through volunteer projects and humane education.

Winter Camp
We offer one-day camps for kids ages 6 to 11 during the holiday season.

Educational Tours
We offer personalized tours of our Robins-Starr Humane Center to schools, organizations and clubs. Children will learn firsthand about the work that the Richmond SPCA does to save the lives of the pets in our care and how to interact safely and responsibly with animals. Virtual tours also available. Please call 804-521-1327 or email us to schedule your tour. Tours are not available in June, July and August.

Projects for Kids that Help our Pets
Children can help the animals in our care by organizing a donation drive for the items on our wish list or by completing one of our suggested craft projects. Contact us to learn more about crafts that can help our pets.
