Long before CAS opened its barn doors, Founder and Director Kathy Stevens had a vision of what she hoped CAS would become. Part of that vision included an education program for children where they could acquire a love of gardening, a passion for vegan cooking, and an understanding of the benefits that a vegan diet brings to animals, people, and the planet. She also wanted to help children recognize the similarities between animals and people and the importance of treating animals humanely.
This vision has now come to fruition as Camp Kindness, a camp that strives to foster compassion towards all living creatures and a respect for our planet. Through gardening and craft activities, compassionate cooking, and animal care and interaction, Camp Kindness hopes to inspire children while providing a fun environment in which to learn. Kids will have the opportunity to work in a garden, learn how to cook new recipes that they can share with their families, and get to know some of the animal residents and their stories. We hope that when children leave Camp Kindness they will take with them many happy memories, some new friends (human and animal), and an awareness of how they can make a difference in animals' lives, their own lives, and in the environment.
