The Animal Welfare Association (AWA), in Voorhees, is offering an early-bird discount through March 15 to register for its Tails and Whiskers summer camp, which runs from July 18 through August 8, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

    The camp will give young animal lovers ages 9 to 12 the opportunity to immerse themselves into the world of animal welfare. Campers will spend their days in the AWA’s new adoption and education center, veterinary clinic and outside on its campus. They will get the chance to explore animal anatomy and take part in a “bandaging lab” where they will learn proper bandaging and splinting techniques on a stuffed animal and meet AWA’s veterinarian. They will also learn all about animal body language, watch dog agility demonstrations and learn proper techniques for training a pet. 

Location: 509 Centennial Blvd. For more information or to register, visit www.AWANJ.org
