FAQs

Why is this priced higher than your Critter Camps?
To provide hands-on experiences with professionals and tools, we cover the costs of those increased services and materials.

The camp is offered several times a year, is each one different?
We run the same style of program on each date. The half day has several activities that differ from the full day.

Will my child be watching surgeries and/or helping the veterinarians out?
No. For safety, campers will not watch surgeries or assist staff. They will meet a veterinarian and take a hospital tour.

My child wants to work with animals, should they become a veterinarian?
Veterinary careers can be rewarding but challenging. There are many other ways to work with or support animals, which we discuss at career camps.

Authorized Pick Up & ID Checking
We release children only to people on the authorized pick-up list and check ID daily. Guardians can add authorized names or update them in their account.
