I was a Board Member & enjoyed the visit with the critters, and had a chance to broaden my mind about scales, fur and feathers.

To see so many different animals in one house, cared for with love and compassion is truly an amazing sight and a joyful sound! To know that these little critters may have died if not for the love and care of Beth.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... developing partnerships with local businesses to help support the animals.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... learning about the different breeds of animals, and that comercially available food may not be the best nutrition for them.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... kind and compassionate and explained things to me in a way that I could understand.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... build a sanctuary to house the animals and pay for continuing Vet care. It could develop a education center so people could experiene exotic animals before they purchased something that they might not be able to keep.
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... Critter Camp had the room to house the animals in seperate areas. There is a limit in how many animals that can be cared for, and I would like to see them have that sanctuary they are planning.
- If I ran this organization, I would... be begging for help all the time. There is so much work to do, yet there are no complaints or stresses. I would be alsking everyone I met to support this worthy cause.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... the ammount of space it has. The plans are in plae to build a sanctuary, and funding is needed from orginizations and private individuals to help build this piece of exotic animal care history.
- One thing I'd also say is that... when there is a need, and we are not able to be there in person to help with the work, or purchase the food, then financial support is the next best way to help.
I was a General Member of the Public & made a monetary contribution to help build animal housing.

Critter camp not only helps provide a healthy lifestyle for exotic animals, but it entertains and educates youngsters who attend the sanctuary's pet shows.

Ways to make it better!
- If I ran this organization, I would... not be capable of handling it.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... to have continued success in fund raising.
- One thing I'd also say is that... it seems amazing that a single family has accomplished so much. It is a unique organization in the category of no-kill exotic pet sanctuaries. There is probably nothing else like it in the U.S. And when you consider how this project has progressed from its humble beginnings, the mind boggles. Credit Beth Randall, a very unique individual.
I was a General Member of the Public & Made a donation to help build housing for the animals in Beth's care.

We've visited Critter Camp several times and witnessed how Beth Randall and her family bring joy to youngsters with exotic pet shows which both entertain and educate. Beth is a very amazing and dedicated person, a tireless servant to the animals in her care.

a great charity with a great constitution -that humanity bred exotic pets for their own enjoyment, and that abandonment of these pets is not acceptable. Great photos, and a great mission.
