Ok pet parents. Thanks to a new program from K9 Resorts you can now add structured fun to your dog’s routine while navigating vacations and busy schedules
Berkley Heights-based K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel announced it is kicking off summer with the launch of its first-ever “Summer Camp for Dogs,” an eight-week seasonal program designed to keep pups stimulated, active, and socialized throughout the summer months.
Running weekly from June 17 through Aug. 7 at participating locations nationwide, the enrichment-focused camp offers themed activities that deliver serious tail wags.
In order, the themes for each weekly Summer Camp are:
Welcome to Camp – Adventure Week: This week K9 Resorts focuses on mental enrichment and kicking off summer camp! Dogs can hunt and explore for treats in a ball pit while enjoying some individual mental stimulation.
Tail Waggin’ Fitness Week: Physical wellness and active play is the theme for week two. Pups will enjoy getting in some cardio by playing with interactive toys.
Paws & Puzzles – Mental Enrichment Week: This week’s all about nose work. Dogs can complete a search and sniff out some treats that are hidden under cones.
Creative Canines – Arts & Crafts Week: It’s time for your best friend to show their artistic side! This week pups will be painting picture frames using “lick art!”
Doggy Olympics – Sports Week: Time to have some fun while getting in some exercise. This week, dogs will be placed on teams and play a game of soccer with their friends!
Relaxation & Wellness – Zen Week: After a busy few weeks, your dog will have some much-needed relaxation time. They’ll enjoy massages, pampering, and affection from your favorite staff members for Wellness Day.
Camp Photoshoot – Camp Picture Week: Your best friend will pose in a camp-themed photo booth! Pictures will be printed and placed into the frames from Arts & Crafts Week.
Closeout Camp – Carnival Fun Week: Dogs will enjoy ice cream, bubbles, and more as summer camp comes to a close. This week K9 Resorts celebrates all the fun we had with a bubble dance party!
“Our Summer Camps were designed with the same care and thoughtfulness that guide everything we do at K9 Resorts,” Steven Parker, co-founder and CEO of K9 Resorts said. “Each week offers a new way to enrich the lives of the dogs in our care—whether through play, creativity, or relaxation. We’re proud to offer pet parents a program that keeps their pups happy, healthy, and engaged all summer long.”
Camp activities are available as an add-on to regular daycare or day boarding at participating resorts. They take place only on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, and pet parents can decide which day they’d like to attend. Guests can enroll in the full eight-week series to receive a commemorative K9 Playtime Activity Club Summer Camp magnet, a custom sticker book, and a badge sticker for every weekly activity completed. Pet parents also have the option to sign up for individual camp days, based on availability.
Space is limited and varies by location, so early registration is recommended.
