KVC is our entry-level program, suitable for most students who love

animals and want to learn more about their care. Kids Vet Club consists

of workshops that cover introductory aspects of veterinary work,

providing hands-on learning experiences for participants. Ages 6-13

In contrast, the Junior Vet Academy (JVA) is a one-week overnight and

commuter camp designed for young aspiring veterinarians. JVA dives

deeper into the veterinary world, offering intermediate and advanced

level experiences. These programs are suitable for mature students

who have a serious interest in a veterinary or animal health-related

career. JVA also includes field trips and recreational outings. The

coursework may not be suitable for all ages or maturity levels, as the

sessions include more demanding hands-on practical expectations and

in-depth lectures that stimulate critical thinking and introduce complex

concepts. Ages 9-15
