Second-year veterinary students, with faculty, technicians and staff provide the veterinary coursework campers take, which is similar to actually veterinary education. Campers learn and study on the College of Veterinary Medicine campus in laboratories and classrooms designed for veterinary students.
Camp participants experience campus life while residing in Auburn’s resident dormitories, eating at campus dining facilities and enjoying evening social and recreational activities. Campers have 24/7 counselor supervision. The Auburn University Office of Professional and Continuing Education coordinates the camper’s registration, fees, meals and housing and chaperones.
Vet Camps are popular – and fill up quickly. Registration opens Dec. 1, 2018 and closes Feb. 4, 2019 of the summer camp.
