Staff Howl-iday Party 2018

Scout and the team celebrated the 2018 howl-idays together at Sky Zone! We showed how much we really love each other by pawticipating in team activities like trampoline dodgeball, nerf gun battles, and some slam dunk contests. 😂

All silliness aside, we are so thankful to have such amazing and hard-working Camp Counselors, Team Leaders, and Managers. Each and every one of them love and care for all our Campers by making sure all dogs are safe and having fun! It’s easy to get along because we all have one tremendous thing in common, love for dogs!

We hope your 2018 was filled with as much furry fun as ours was! Happy Howl-idays!
