campers in attendance

We’re thrilled to have completed our third Camp Joybound session of Summer 2026! This week of fun (shortened for the Juneteenth holiday) included interactive experiences with departments and programs spanning across our Walnut Creek headquarters. Campers were able to meet with Joybound’s shelter animals, as well as Pet Hug Pack therapy animals.

Thank you to everyone who signed their camper up for Camp Joybound. You’re helping us inspire the next generation of animal lovers! Did you know you can host your child’s next birthday at Joybound? Book your reservation today!

“My daughter had the most wonderful time at Camp Joybound! She absolutely loved spending time with the animals and came home each day smiling, excited to share all about her adventures.”

– Amy, Contra Costa County Parent
