Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is starting the dog days of summer off on a fetching note. It’s Canine Camp Getaway, a camping opportunity designed for pooches and pet parents alike.

This doggone delightful bonding experience doles out double excitement. You get to enjoy the classic multi-day touring and exploring of the historic Gettysburg scene (and all of its dog-friendly offerings) with loads of outdoor activities, recreations, and an overnight vacationing package that doesn’t exclude your favorite furry friend. What more could a dog-lover want?

The novelty of Canine Camp Getaways is currently exclusive to select locations for limited event durations. An upcoming September option will be in East Durham, New York. But the June presentation will be based right in the heart of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic, we dog-lovers are lucky to have the latter option close to home, as it’s no secret that these unique pet vacations are growing in popularity, attracting attendees from all over the nation. Founder and owner Janice Costa has even been featured on Animal Planet, the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, MSNBC.com, Connecticut’s “Pet Talk,” “Pets Teach Us So Much” and “Women Making a Difference” radio shows, the Fido Friendly Magazine, AKC Family Dog, Canine Journal, Newsweek, American Lifestyle, Newsday, The New York Daily News, Every Day With Rachel Ray magazine, The Washingtonian, AOL’s Paw Nation, ZooToo.com, DogTipper.com, and several more outlets.

If you think you’ll be “ruffing” the week out in the dog house, think again. You and your buddy will be treated to optimal hotel-quality room standards at none other than the Eisenhower Hotel & Convention Center.

Perks in the package also include a spacious, air-conditioned conference center, a special dog splash pool, acres of open fields, green spaces designated for agility, loads of dog-friendly activities, and so much more. Not to be overlooked is the featured diving dock!

Don’t be fooled into thinking the quintessential comforts and pampering of an elevated stay and play deviates from traditional outdoor hiking and wild wonders. There will be plenty of those activities and endeavors throughout the entire duration of your camping experience.

At the helm of everything, though, you get to meet and mingle with other dog-minded individuals while sharing in a most cherished, treasured escape with your faithful companion by your side.

Gettysburg’s offering will run from June 6 through 10, so be sure to book soon if this is something you and your fur-baby are interested in.
