Camp Dogs of New England and beyond!
August 28, 2025
Dog Days of Summer 2026
Over the last few months, we have been collecting submissions from ACA Accredited summer camps of their camp dogs for the Dog Days of Summer 2026 Calendar project in order to raise money for our Annual Fund with partial proceeds going towards local New England animal rescue, Animal Rescue Network of New England (ARNNE).
Our calendar was filled in record time with camp canines from all over the New England area and beyond! Because we could not fit every adorable pup in the calendar, we decided to share all the submissions received with you all here in a blog post. We hope you enjoy these wonderful camp dogs as much as we have.
You can learn more about the Annual Fund and pre-order your Dog Days of Summer 2026 Calendar HERE for $25 today!
