All proceeds go directly to the care of our animal residents.
This summer, families can choose between two different Gud Day camp experiences: a horse-focused camp and a multi-animal critter camp. Both camps are designed for ages 5–12 and run Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Every registration supports the care and well-being of our rescued animals.

Horse Camp goes far beyond riding. Campers are introduced to the foundations of horsemanship through hands-on learning, including grooming, safety, communication, and daily care. They also spend time with the sanctuary's donkey residents, helping each child build confidence, responsibility, and a lasting connection with these remarkable animals.
