Vets In Training 2023 Spring Break Camp
Students ages 5-13
During Spring Break Camp students spend their days playing with our fantastic pets in a fun group setting. Activities and lessons are developed to engage their senses and foster compassion and kindness toward animals. This connection encourages teambuilding and acceptance of their peers.
We will always try to have lots of outdoor free time on the playground, forest hikes, and fun explorations! In the afternoon we do STEAM based lessons in animal science and veterinary care. Students are so busy having fun with animals and veterinary tools, that they dont even know they are learning!
We eat lunch picnick style outside if its nice out. If its cold or raining we have lunch time inside and allow the children out for supervised play time on the playground. They are welcome to come in and out and have snack during that hour as well. We may do a nature hike through the forest with any kids who are interested. Friday is Pizza day so you do not need to pack a lunch, just a snack or lunch if your child doesnt eat pizza.
