Testimonials: Veterinary Camp

Student Testimonials from last summer:

 “I liked the fact that we learned about all different things that we would need to know about in the real world.” 

“I liked learning about suturing because it’s a real life experience and skill.” 

“Very engaging and unique experience to connect with animals and other people”

“This camp is both fun and educational”

“I loved how much I learned!”

“I really enjoyed the hands-on suturing, injections, wrapping workshops, and the urinalysis + disease activities”

“The interactive parts of the lessons were the best, like learning how to put a catheter in, learning how to suture, and drawing blood. They were well planned out and had our best interests covered.” 

“I loved this camp and would definitely keep in contact with the friends I made! So glad I was able to do this program.”

Parent Testimonials from last summer:

Esther thrived and that was so fantastic to see.  This was her first overnight camp experience but since we live close by we figured she could switch to day camp if she wanted to. But I had hoped that knowing she could do that would be enough to make her comfortable staying there and that was the case. First, being only one week made it manageable for Esther. She hates being away from home. Also she loves animals. And it looked like you had a diverse range of students.  everyone seemed extremely accepting and warm  There aren’t enough words to say how wonderful this program has been. Esther already wants to come back next year. Thank you for giving her an experience she will never forget.

Thank you for everything and giving my child an amazing experience!

Way to go staff! You gave the kids a great time – even through power outages due to an unexpected storm!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the AMAZING experience for my daughter! The staff’s commitment to making the experience rewarding for the children is EXCEPTIONAL!

An excellent and worthwhile experience for any youth thinking about being a veterinarian!!

Lucas loved everything about the camp and wants to come back next year

Lily learned a lot about animals and enjoyed the activities that were performed in class. She came home everyday with new facts to share.

My daughter loved this camp

Luke had a great time at camp. We feel every minute was well spent. I loved the pictures on instagram and I loved seeing pictures of the social evening events. We will do this camp again next summer in Maryland. Thank you!!

My teenage daughter left camp everyday with a smile on her face and lots to talk about. She is now going to start a club at her highschool to collect items for animal shelter. She also is motivated to observe vets because the teaching staff explained the requirements of the vet school application. Very helpful!

Great Camp experience! Great Location and Staff. Great Academic and social opportunity. Wonderful intro to college life.

Dear Vet Summer, Thank you for creating his space for campers like my daughter. She enjoyed making friends and experience the dorm life. Her experience solidified her love for the Vet world. Hopefully one day she could become a Vet tech and think back at this experience. Thank you again for this wonderful experience! Have a great rest of your summer! Love The Gonzalez Family

Lauren had a great time at the camp and is looking forward already to next year!

Vetsummer was an amazing experience for my aspiring Veterinarian! Great combination of classroom learning, hands on learning and fun and educational field trips!

I was nervous about my daughter’s first time away, but she settled in almost instantly and had a blast. That’s a credit to all the staff and the other kids who attended. Sofia said she got along with everyone, and enjoyed meeting kids from all over who shared the same interest. The evenings were filled with activities to keep her busy, and the classes and day trips just solidified her interest in becoming a vet.
