About this Event

TVF's Veterinary Discovery Camp, offered in partnership with the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, offers an exciting hands-on experience for aspiring animal enthusiasts to explore the world of veterinary sciences. Participants will dive into the daily life of a veterinarian, learning essential skills like translating animal behavior, body condition scoring, and biosecurity practices. Campers will gain insights into animal nutrition, explore anatomy models, and learn the tools of the trade. They'll also participate in hands-on animal caretaking with TVF's herd and hear from professionals about careers in veterinary medicine. This camp blends practical skills with engaging lessons, making it the perfect introduction for aspiring animal caregivers.
