Gould Academy Veterinary Science Camp

The Veterinary Science Camp at Gould Academy is a specialized overnight program tailored for young individuals aged 12 to 16 interested in veterinary medicine and science. This camp provides intensive, hands-on experiences where campers work closely with veterinarians to handle animals safely, utilize medical lab equipment, administer treatments, and perform simulated surgeries. Ethical aspects of veterinary care are also explored to deepen participants’ understanding of the field. Set against the scenic backdrop of Bethel, Maine, the camp benefits from the academy’s comprehensive facilities such as dormitories, a science center equipped with modern laboratories, and an on-campus farm housing various animals. The nearby Bethel Animal Hospital further supports the learning environment. This week-long camp session, held in July, includes accommodation, meals, and all necessary instructional materials for a complete immersive experience.
