Image_202009281237

Please come out for a day of hide and seek with our incredible search dogs in Hershey Park. Lunch will be provided. Under eighteen must be accompanied by an adult. Our dogs and humans are all volunteers who answer the call,day or night, to assist in locating missing or lost people. We train regularly to ensure that when the time comes, everyone is ready to go. You will need to dress for the weather and bring something to entertain yourself while you're in your hiding spot. Subjects will be rotated so nobody has to sit in the cold for long. Many hiding spots will have shelter and possibly heat.
