The Veterinary Camp at Nashville Zoo offers an engaging two-day experience for teens aged 13 to 18 during the school fall break, designed for those who aspire to become veterinarians. This camp opens a window into the daily work of zoo veterinarians, providing participants with critical information about the academic path needed to enter the veterinary field. Campers will actively engage in learning how to safely handle animals for medical procedures and enjoy guided tours of the zooโs animal clinic and laboratory facilities. The hands-on segment includes blow-darting practice, giving a realistic glimpse into zoo veterinary practices. Operating from 9 am until 3 pm, this camp is an enriching option for teens keen on animal sciences and veterinary careers.
