| Off-leash hiking through the woods, swimming in a spring-fed lake, and lounging under trees. As well, for dogs of all ages and abilities, there are tons of activities (overseen by professional dog counselors), including flyball, musical freestyle, and agility. |

|
|
| Classic summer camp activities, including arts & crafts, swimming, hiking, and socializing. Apart from the many activities for dogs (see above), there are also workshops for humans on such subjects as practical grooming, clicker training, positive approaches to behavior challenges, canine massage, and dog portraiture. Campers stay in simple wooden cabins with their dogs. Each cabin has two semi-private rooms and accommodates up to three people (but if you pay extra, you can guarantee you'll get a single or a double). As Camp Unleashed's website notes: "The cabins aren't very chic, but they're clean and spacious with large screened windows and high ceilings…Each group of cabins has its own wash house with private toilets and shower stalls, sinks, electrical outlets, lights and hot and cold running water." If you really want to rough it, you can bring your own tent. There's also the option of staying off-site at a dog-friendly inn. |
