Emergency Veterinary Medicine Camp

This camp offers a unique opportunity for children in grades 4 through 7 and above to delve into the world of veterinary medicine through practical and scientific activities. Campers will practice physical examinations on animals using real medical equipment, explore veterinary challenges like illness in pets, and learn fundamental suturing techniques with creative materials. The program includes understanding cardiac functions through engineering projects, and conducting dissections on various specimens such as sheep hearts and crayfish for deeper biological insight. A series of fun, informative tasks such as DNA extraction from strawberries, pet CPR demos, and crafting nutritious dog treats are also included. Visits from veterinary professionals provide campers with valuable career perspectives. This week-long camp combines education and interactive fun to nurture future veterinarians in an accessible, hands-on environment.
