Oxbow Animal Health Junior Vet Camp

Designed specifically for children between the ages of 7 and 11, the Oxbow Animal Health Junior Vet Camp offers a comprehensive 4-day experience centered around veterinary science and animal care. Campers partake in interactive and educational activities including games and crafts, and each day features an encounter with a live animal. The program educates young participants on the use of veterinary tools, x-rays, and body systems, while also addressing topics like animal over-population. Practical exercises allow children to engage in authentic veterinary procedures such as conducting health exams and maintaining medical records. The week concludes with a simulated surgery that integrates everything learned throughout the camp. Each camper leaves with a branded t-shirt, scrubs, and a stethoscope, creating lasting memories of their veterinary adventure.
