Little Veterinarian Summer Camp (4-5 years old)

Become a paw-some veterinarian!

This camp is fully booked!

Camp participants will role-play the key responsibilities of a veterinarian and learn how to care for a dog. These future veterinarians will learn how to remove ticks, perform a nose-to-tail exam, understand proper animal nutrition and hydration, suture lacerations, and more in our Little Veterinarian Summer Camp (4-5 years old)!

This is an experience full of STEM-based learning, activities and crafts. We aim to ignite the passion of future healthcare heroes and get them excited about how the body works, as well as the importance of health! Every day your child will return home with materials to show you what they learned. Of note, all the necessary materials for each class are provided to students. At the end of the session, camp concludes with a graduation ceremony where each student receives a personalized diploma.

Board-certified physicians and experts in the field of child education have collaborated to write our curriculum. Our instructors are well-trained and they have an interest in health sciences and education. They will deliver fun, engaging and interactive content. Additionally, all our instructors have provided a vulnerable sector check, and hold a current First Aid certification.

Your camper will make new friends as teamwork, role-playing, and collaboration are key parts of our activities. Your child will have an unforgettable summer filled with lots of fun, fun…and fun!
