With the information collected from surveys and guidance from the CDC, we have made the following changes to our people programs in regards to Covid-19 and keeping our entire community healthy:
- We are hiring additional staff and maintaining smaller group cohorts.
- HFS will continue to follow all state and local orders. We will update our policies in accordance with any new information or guidance we receive. You can find all of Heartland’s updated Covid policies here. You can also view the CDC Website Camp Guidelines here.

Participants will explore the concepts of acceptance, compassion, and empathy for all beings. During their time at Heartland Farm Sanctuary, participants will reflect on their own self advocacy and communication skills while also being a voice for rescued farm animals.
