Welcome to our events calendar for the 9th Season of
the first and (still) the only dog dedicated campground in the US!
Season starts on Friday March 30, 2012
Season ends on Sunday November 25, 2012
We are
closing for the "Dog Days of Summer"

Every weekend there is something new to see and experience at
Four Paws Kingdom.
If you haven't stayed with us yet, here's a short description of event terms:
Please note: All events involving food are "humans only" events. In compliance with health code regulations
and safety issues we cannot accommodate any fur-kids. Please make
provisions (e.g. crates) to leave your dog(s) in your
camping units or cars for the duration of these events.
Partys and Fests
.. are our specialty, great food, terrific
entertainment, games, fun and a wonderful opportunity to
socialize
with your fellow campers. All that and more is the essence of our
big event weekends.
Potlucks
Many evenings are dedicated to our special "potluck
dinners".
If you would like to participate, please bring a dish to share as
well as your own place settings and drinks.
Homemade is great, but
WalMart, Food Lion, Chilis, Pizza Hut, KFC, deli salads, bakery
desserts, etc., work also. The important thing is to enjoy the
company of
your fellow camper friends.
Catered
Themed Dinners
You've asked for it, we'll provide it, themed
catered events and mouthwatering food,
gallons of ice-tea and scrumptious desserts. All masterfully
prepared by our own resident chef for a reasonable fee. Art
and Craft Projects
We have added "fun-to-do" arts and craft
events to our schedule.
Please let us know on your reservation if you are interested so we
can prepare accordingly.

Over
the last few years many of our campers have asked our
resident chef if he could teach them to cook some of his
savory, delicious and fragrant creations. This is your
chance to learn about the basics of Asian cuisine from
start to finish. If you want to get down and dirty with a Hands-on
class this is your chance to do so. You will have your own
prep and/or cooking station with all the utensils and ingredients to practice. We
select, peel, grind, chop, stir, spice and we cook together. At the
end of the day, we sit down and enjoy the meal
together with our fellow campers. This cooking class
"Food" Camp Style includes all the spices and
ingredients, a recipe booklet to use at home plus all the fun
you can have cooking with your fellow students. Class length is about
6 hours on Saturday (including a visit to an authentic Asian
grocery) and about 2.5 hours on Sunday morning. This culinary Boot
Camp is limited to only 10 students. Make sure to reserve early.
