Our Veterinary Enrichment Camp is held each Summer for children ages 12-18 with an interest in veterinary medicine & animal care. Students must submit an application along with a written paragraph by our application due date. Our students go through an enrollment process, including interviews, & are selected based on knowledge, interest, maturity & commitment. All camp attendees are paired with another student for their week-long camp session. Each camper receives a free camp t-shirt & gets the opportunity to work in all departments at our hospital. Students will be educated in topics such as:
- Animal Husbandry

- Obtaining vitals
- Pharmacology
- Medical records
- Animal restraint
- Animal grooming & bathing
