Sharks, Swims, and Summer Shenanigans!"

Updated: Jul 18



Howdy Camp Families!


We made it through July 4th! Even our mild-mannered nanny friend Sarah turned into a Tasmanian devil over this year's bombardment. She told us her pup Ace goes into a corner and pretends he does not exist. Poor Dear Ace! In 23 years of friendship,we've never seen Sarah so riled up - and we cheered her all the way!  We think her swearing and stomping helped! Say thank you, Chicago!

Facebook live

We're loving our live video chats with camp families in our Facebook group! Catch us most days between 9 AM - 2 PM for a video or two. Which Golden is which? Don't ask. Only a Mom knows for sure. Sometimes.

Upcoming Events:

Shark week 2024

Shark Week (July 21-28)

We'll have games, pictures, and take-home goodie bags. Full disclosure. My first attempt at "sharks in a blanket" wasn't great— they ended up looking more like confused fish sticks than fearsome predators of the deep but Kb is not a quitter. A little more practice!  And for what the sharks in a blanket lack her shark teeth snacks, make up for!! 


Swim with the Dogfins: Join us for a splash with your pup or watch them swim!

  • Reserve your Dogfins swim with Colleen (773-685-6667) 

  • Dates: July 23, 25 (4-7 PM) and July 27 (10 AM-3 PM)

Dog Olympics

Olympic Fun (July 26-August 8)

Our campers will go for gold in exciting events like pup cup relays, high jumps, catch, and feats of balance! Medals for every pup!  At camp everyone is a winner! 

10th Annual Howl-o-palooza 2024

We're brainstorming costume ideas. Can you believe we've never dressed a pup as Mrs. Roper?  The first costumed pups will roll out October 7 (some of you are laughing and we want you to stop it right now-we will be ready!)

Camp Shenanigans! 

There was a pup from Chicago, 

Who rode on a shark with bravado. 

At Camp Run A Pup, 

This daring pup 

Made waves with his shark rodeo!

Yee Haw!

First correct answer texted to the lodge phone wins a prize. I have no idea what that prize will be but it will be FUN.
