MSPCA School Break Program

This Massachusetts school vacation week, kids ages 6-15 years of age will flock to Nevins Farm and help care for our animals, keep our shelter running and make new friends!  For questions about our School Break Program, please email humaneeducation@mspca.org

Make your child’s winter or spring school break a meaningful one – sign them up for our School Break Program! What could be a better way to spend your school vacation than making new friends and hanging out with awesome animals that need your help? At the MSPCA School Break Program, you will learn how to care for animals and be a responsible animal guardian. Activities will include a combination of animal care chores as well as animal socializing/education. Depending on the session, these may include cleaning cat cages, mucking horse stalls, walking dogs, grooming cats or small animals, feeding treats or washing floors – whatever is most needed!
