A return of our Orientation Day for caregivers and their campers to meet our instructors before the session to ensure a successful first day.

What You Can Do Instead

You can celebrate Halloween while still keeping wildlife safe! Here are some simple, eco friendly tips:

Wildlife entanglement:

Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, squirrels, and other small animals can easily get caught in the strands. Once tangled, they may struggle to free themselves, leading to stress, injury, or even death.

Keep spooky webs indoors only:

Enjoy the look without the risk to outdoor wildlife.

Try reusable décor:

Cloth banners, lanterns, or solar lights can be used year after year.

Share the message:

Remind friends, neighbors, and your community about the risks of fake spider webs.

Be Part Of The Solution

Protecting wildlife starts with small, mindful choices. By skipping fake spider webs and choosing safer alternatives, you’re helping create a Halloween that’s fun for people and safe for animals.
