"Ms Mary, this was the best day of my life!"

Is there anything better than hearing that from a student after a day at the Critter Barn?
We are delighted to invite children with limited resources to our classes.  

In 2008, seventy children are attending Critter Camp because of the generosity of the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, the John and Judy Spoelhof Foundation, and private gifts.

For a gift of just $65, you can sponsor area youth for an unforgettable three day experience.  Once the class is completed, students may return at a variety of times to volunteer at the farm.

Your investment grows with the relationship each student develops with the farm staff and fellow volunteers.

In 2010, a scholarship fund was established in memory of our founder's late father, Robert Vander Hooning.  If you would like to add
to this fund, and make another scholarship available, contact the farm at critterbarn@charter.net or click on this link.

Donations can be directed by completing the GIFT NOTE on the donation form.
