Emergency Vet

Dear Camper Families,
It was a busy week at Vet camp!

Monday

The Intermediates and Juniors learned how to run a vet's office, and had time to free play with the stuffed animals, vet supplies, etc. The campers also began preparing for Thursday's animal parade.

Tuesday

A rainy day can't dampen our spirits! The kids got to make dog biscuits. They also continued working on their costumes for Thursday's animal parade. We were rained out of afternoon recess, so the kids got to watch a movie.

Wednesday

Today was a busy day! In the morning, dog breeder and vet tech Ann Soule visited with the children and brought two of her dogs: a mother dog and her daughter. One of our camper's parents brought a third dog, who is the son/brother to the other two. In the afternoon the campers had sprinkler time.

Thursday

The campers had their animal parade today! In the morning, they put last minute touches on their masks. They then marched to the gym and showed the other classes the hard work they have done on their costumes. Midday the students got to meet Matt Gilbert's dog. Matt is Falmouth Parks and Community Program's assistant director and athletics coordinator.

It was vet stations day! Under the expert guidance of a visiting veterinarian, Dr. Kris Holt, the students were able to spend the day visiting interactive stations, such as the "Eyes and Ears" station, and the "CPR station. Enjoy this slideshow of the day's events.
