Welcome, Veterinarians!

We have had some busy veterinarians this week at "Emergency Vet" Camp.

In the morning, the campers made watercolors of cats and dogs to decorate the room. Midday, they learned all about the vet's office that is in the back of their classrooms. We had our first round of animal visits at the end of the day.

The campers made clay animals and habitats for their new clay pets. Sparks Ark came to visit! In the afternoon they had more animal visits.

The campers got to meet one of our counselor's rabbits this morning. Midmorning we had a special visitor, Mrs. Duncan, who taught us what it is like to adopt a dog from a pet breeder. She also taught the campers about puppy care. In the afternoon the campers painted their clay animals and then had another round of animal visits.
