This camp is perfect for campers who love animals and want to learn more about becoming a vet or animal rescuer. Campers jump into the world of veterinary medicine and animal science through fun projects and activities. They learn about DNA, examine cells under a microscope, and even perform dissections on a sheep heart, owl pellet, and crayfish. Campers also explore animal health and nutrition by preparing healthy dog treats and practice basic first aid for emergency conditions such as broken bones and bloat. But that’s not all! Campers use their creativity and problem-solving skills to design and test devices to help animals, including a life vest for a dog, a prosthetic leg for an elephant, a beak for an eagle, and a tail for a fish.
