About Waxhaw Vet Camp
At Waxhaw Animal Hospital, we love sharing our experiences and knowledge with our community, and value the opportunity to pass on our passion for animals and their care with future veterinarians or veterinary professionals! Even if you just love animals and want a chance to get to know how to be around them, take care of them, and learn about medical care for them, you will love our program. Our Vet Camp Director has a background in teaching all ages, our veterinarians and veterinary staff love sharing their experiences with kids, and our Vet Camp staff will enjoy leading activities and experiences for the campers!
The main levels of Elementary and Middle School are intended as both an introduction and a new experience, even if a child has already attended camp with us. Each session and year bring new experiences, cases, and your child gets even more out of camp as they mature and are exposed to similar concepts again.
Elementary level camp is offered for Rising 2nd - 5th graders, with smaller groups dividing up for various activities as we do our "Rounds."
Middle School level camp is offered for Rising 6th-8th graders, with smaller groups breaking out for interactive experiences. Campers who are rising 6th graders, even if they have attended camp before, should definitely be in one of these sessions.
The "Advanced" Sessions are exclusively for campers who have already attended at least one session of that same level and are entering 4th or 5th grade for Elementary or 7th-9th grade for Middle School. This is an experience that allows for a bit more in depth, however all regular sessions are still open to returning campers, as there is plenty to do & learn. Our returning sessions will involve guest visits and/or a field trip.
Each session & each year is always somewhat different, as well as the maturity level of the camper. Campers always seem to do have even more fun the second, third, or fourth time around!
