Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge (PFAR) is excited to announce that their beloved Camp Compassion is back! After running this engaging program for four years (2016-2019), they took a break due to COVID, but are thrilled to resume it Mon, Jul 21-Fri, Jul 25, 8am-4pm. PFAR is a non-profit sanctuary for rescued farm animals located in Pittsboro, NC. Designed for children ages 7-12, this unique camp offers the opportunity to connect with and care for their incredible animal residents.

Campers will engage in hands-on animal care, including preparing nutritious meals and creating daily enrichment activities for the animals. They’ll also enjoy a variety of creative and interactive experiences like arts and crafts, active games, storytelling, improv theater, and more! Every day, campers will enjoy delicious vegan snacks and cook their own plant-based lunches alongside a talented vegan chef.

The heart of Camp Compassion is building meaningful connections with the amazing animals at the Refuge, including goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, cows, and one delightful guinea fowl named Frizzle! Each animal has a name, a unique personality, and a special story. They hope campers leave with a deeper understanding, respect, and love for animals of all kinds.

Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge (PFAR) is a nonprofit organization that rescues farm animals in need, educates the public about the cruelty of factory farms, and promotes veganism by providing knowledge, support, and community to individuals interested in living cruelty-free lifestyles.
