Junior Vet Academy Overnight (7/12/26-7/17/26)
Description
Junior Vet Academy gives aspiring animal lovers a true behind-the-scenes look at veterinary care. Students spend their days at the beautiful 1870 Farm, working hands-on with a variety of animals and exploring everything from basic pet care to advanced veterinary techniques inside our farm veterinary clinic. These advanced skills may include practicing safe animal handling and restraint, learning how to suture and bandage wounds, using stethoscopes to listen to heart and lung sounds, understanding diagnostic tools, and even exploring how X-rays and lab tests are used in real veterinary medicine.

The program also extends to the UNC Chapel Hill campus, where overnight students enjoy comfortable dorm living, recreational activities, and evening fun with new friends. Whether examining a goat, assisting with a wellness check, or diagnosing a “patient,” this unique camp blends education, adventure, and the joy of working with animals into an unforgettable week.

Students are dropped off on Sundays at UNC between 3:30 pm 5:00 pm. Pickup is on Fridays at UNC at 3:30 pm.
