Vet Camps
As a result of curriculum changes at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, only two Virtual Vet Camps will be offered in 2026.
Ever thought of becoming a veterinarian? Do you love animals big and small? This online camp will introduce you to some of the skills and knowledge veterinarians need to take care of a variety of species.
Provided by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, you'll have fun learning from veterinary students each day with approximately 2.5hrs of live (online) interactive sessions, scheduled between 9:00am and 3:00pm (Mountain Time). In between those times, there will be online content to explore and the opportunity to take part in some great hands-on activities at home (total content provided will be approximately 4-6 hours a day). You will also receive a fabulous swag bag (valued at $130+) of goodies that includes a genuine veterinarian scrub top and materials for the at-home activities.
Please be advised if you register within one week of the camp start date, your swag bag may be delayed. Parents/Guardians will be contacted directly regarding the mailing of the Vet Camp swag bags with course materials – more information to come.
Please ensure that your mailing address is up to date in the system, as the swag bag will be mailed to you!

Get ready to unleash your inner veterinary medical professional this summer!
Discover how animals are cared for at (some name Vet Camp) this summer! This hands-on camp encourages kids to engage in a variety of concepts, activities and challenges around animal health. Campers will be introduced to many aspects of the animal world- from pocket pets to livestock and wildlife, and even how our own human interactions impact animal health and wellbeing! Explore how animals are different from humans, practice some critter First Aid, and learn about a variety of careers in animal medicine.
Meet some of our current Veterinary Medicine students and veterinarians who are busy planning new and exciting activities, while bringing back some favourite, well-known sessions that we're positive every camper will love! Each day is balanced with a variety of outdoor games & activities led by our camp leaders. One highlight of the week is going on a day trip to the only Vet School in Alberta: UCVM’s Spy Hill Campus Clinical Skills Building.
* All activities are subject to change, which may include live animal interactions.
