Pet parents! We know that dropping your fur baby off at a new daycare can be a bit nerve-wracking. You want the best care, safety, and happiness for your dog while you’re away. That’s exactly why Camp Paws is here to put your mind at ease! We’re thrilled to give you a transparent, paws-on walk-through of a typical day at Camp Paws—from drop-off to pick-up. Our goal? To ensure your dog enjoys an exciting, enriching, and fun-filled day while you go about yours!
Let’s dive right in and see what a day at Camp Paws looks like for your pup!
1. Morning Drop-Off: A Warm and Soothing Start!
From the moment you arrive, our goal is to make drop-off quick, easy, and seamless. As soon as your pup enters Camp Paws, we slip on our signature Camp Paws slip lead to ensure safety. The first activity? A soothing enrichment session to help your dog shake off any car ride jitters! We know that your pup might be feeling a little excited (or even nervous), so we give them a potty break followed by a calming 10–15 minutes in their crate to settle in.
Next up? It’s time to meet new friends! If your dog is new, they’ll be introduced to one of our friendly pups—let’s say Pancake, our resident cuddle bug—in a separate area to ensure things go smoothly. Once introductions are a success, it’s time for playtime galore! Your pup will have the chance to run, jump, and romp with fellow campers in a safe, supervised environment.
2. Playtime & Group Fun: Let’s Get Social!
Once your pup has settled, it’s time for group play! Our play sessions are structured to ensure that every dog gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Our play areas are designed for maximum safety and fun, with plenty of room to run around. Whether they’re playing fetch or chasing new friends, your dog will be in their element!
P.S. We also like to get each dog to work for a few treats!
3. Solo Enrichment: Time to Work That Brain!
At Camp Paws, we know it’s not all about physical play. Mental stimulation is key to keeping dogs happy and engaged! Throughout the day, we guide each camper to enjoy multiple solo enrichment activities, ensuring they get some much-needed brain exercise.
Does your dog love puzzles? Or perhaps they prefer sniffing out new scents? Our Sniff-Venture station is perfect for dogs who love using their noses, while the ball pit provides a sensory overload of fun! After these enrichment activities, we encourage your dog to take a rest break—letting them recharge so they don’t get overstimulated.
4. Midday Rest & Lunch: Time to Recharge
Lunch time! After a busy morning of play and enrichment, it’s time for the campers to recharge. Each dog takes their parent-prepared lunch in their own crate to ensure peaceful feeding. If your dog has specific dietary needs, no worries—we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s kibble, raw food, or a special diet, we’ll make sure your dog’s meal is handled with care and love.
Throughout the day, water is always available, and we ensure each bowl is sanitized frequently to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness.
5. Afternoon Fun & Wind-Down
The fun doesn’t stop after lunch! Once your dog has recharged and digested, it’s time for round two of play and enrichment. This is the time when campers can burn off any extra energy before heading home. We tailor the afternoon activities based on your pup’s individual needs—whether it’s more group play, scent games, or quiet one-on-one time with our staff.
As the day winds down, we make sure every camper has the chance to relax and calm down before pick-up. We want your dog to go home feeling tired but happy and content, ready for a peaceful night at home.
6. Pick-Up & Report Card: Get the Scoop on Your Pup’s Day!
When you arrive to pick up your dog, we’ll share a daily report card detailing your dog’s activities, behavior, and even any fun stories from the day! Did your dog have a blast with Pancake? Did they excel at the Sniff-Venture station? You’ll know it all.
Your dog will likely be tuckered out, so be prepared for a quiet, cozy evening at home. After a day filled with play, enrichment, and socializing, your pup will be more than ready to curl up for a snooze by your side.
