VetCAMP is a pre-college program for high school students interested in veterinary medicine. Hosted during the summer, VetCAMP programming consisted of hands-on experiences at the NC State Education Units, a tour of NC State University’s campus, a small animal basic exam and suture lab, as well as an anatomy and physiology lecture followed by dissections of the heart and brain. Campers also participated in a service project, donating nearly 200 lbs. of food to the NC State Pack Pantry, and 118 dog toys and 74 cat toys to the Wake County SPCA and Animal Shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed getting to be hands-on with the animals this week. Being able to work with the animals made me feel respected as the staff were able to trust me with their animals, and treated me like a young adult rather than a kid.<\/p>
