About This Activity
Step onto the farm and into the world of large animal veterinary medicine! Spend the day learning what it takes to care for farm animals like horses, cattle, and sheep. Campers will meet a large animal veterinarian and explore real-world tools and techniques used to keep herds healthy and thriving. Students will learn how to listen to a horse's heart and gut sounds, explore the tools and supplies used in large animal medicine and discover the different career paths in veterinary science. This is a hands-on, on-the-farm experience, so campers should come prepared with long pants and closed-toe shoes (boots preferred). Perfect for students who love animals, science, and the outdoors—and want to explore careers in veterinary medicine, agriculture, or animal management! Safety Clothing Requirements: students must wear long pants, closed-toe shoes (boots preferred) Please Note: To ensure equitable access, we kindly ask that each educator limits their initial registration to two externship opportunities. This will allow as many participants as possible to take advantage of these experiences. After the first two weeks of registration, we will open remaining spots to those interested in additional opportunities. Thank you for your understanding and support!
