Emergency Vet July 15

Emergency Vet July 15 - 19 2024

Monday

We spent our day making lab coats, designing a vets office, and listening to our guest speaker, Sparks Ark, present his exotic animals.

Tuesday

An amazing mom came in with a fantastic presentation about dog agility and training. She talked about training service animals and the children loved it (shout out to Karen)!! The children also made their own human agility courses which was adorable.

Wednesday

A vet came to talk about how a vet check up at a vet's office works and passed out some check up sheets for the kids to use on their stuffed animals as practice. Then a sweet black lab came in and all the kids got to take her heart beat with a real stethoscope. Our pet visits in the afternoon were extra special when we got to meet two ponies (one miniature pony named Taco and one pony named Squid) and a turkey named Sweat Pea.

Thursday

Charlie's Friends doggie daycare and training came in to show the children some dog tricks and learn dog body language. The children had so much fun getting to know all the dogs and matching dog emotion flash cards with their matches. Later on the junior campers got to wash their toy animals and seniors got to make dog toys that we will be donating to the local shelter.

Friday

We finished out our jam packed week with some clay sculpting and sprinklers.

Pet Visits

Thank you so much to all the families that brought their pets to show to the children at Emergency Vet camp. They loved meeting them all and had such a great week!
