Age-appropriate games, crafts, and special animal interactions round out the Camp ARF experience!

For future veterinarians, ARF’s Vet Camp gives kids the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the veterinary science world and observe animals in a brand new way! Campers will observe spay/neuter surgery in ARF’s clinic, analyze x-rays, and practice suturing and injection techniques to prepare them for a future career path. ARF’s talented staff veterinarians join us for a question and answer session, and special animal interactions bring lessons to life!

Kind Kids campers will lend a helping hand to all types of animals by completing fun projects for furry friends at ARF and beyond!

Age-appropriate activities, games, and animal interactions make for a week of fun!
