Inspiring children to be kindhearted to all living things.
Welcome to Camp Bow Wow!
COOPERATION skills learned in 10 lessons.
Children join “families,” along with their shelter dog teammate, and work together through engaging challenges that teach them how to listen, share responsibility, solve problems, and support one another—building strong character and essential teamwork skills!
These powerful stories help children see themselves in the dogs’ journeys and recognize their own potential for growth and impact.
Inspired by the incredible true stories of Peg Kehret’s book “Shelter Dogs: Amazing Stories of Adopted Strays.”

It WorksI enjoyed seeing the kids try to use the Keys to COOPERATION during the human fire sculpture activity. I think there were moments where the students were challenged and possibly ran into some roadblocks. This is what we want to have them experience in a controlled setting so that they have to practice implementing the Keys to COOPERATION. They will be more likely to use them in other real-world situations that don't always go as planned!
Why it Works!
Character development skills are woven directly into activities, creating efficient, holistic learning experiences where children develop cognitive and emotional skills together.
Work as a "family" to complete the COOPERATION challenge! The puzzle reveals your family name, pet name, and core value!
Putting the Keys to Cooperation in action by making a human sculpture of a fire!
Connections MadeI learned to never give up because I used to just quit, but now I don't! The thing I liked most about Kindhearted Kids Meet the Challenge was having a pet (stuffed dog) who was part of our family.
