From squeezing anal glands to cleaning out squirmy worms and learning lifesaving pet first aid, this veterinary-inspired holiday camp is as real as it gets.
Future Vet Kids Camp is an exciting face-to-face and virtual school holiday program that encourages responsible pet ownership, the profession of veterinary medicine and a love and appreciation of all animals and their habitats!
The 5-day program is aimed at kids aged 9 to 16 years, designed by veterinarians and run by vet twins Drs Audrey and Alison Shen from the Bondi Vet TV show.
The Sydney Camp will be held at Waverley College in Waverley on January 6 - 10 and January 13 – 17, 2025. A Virtual Online Camp will run concurrently to the HQ Sydney Camp with the ability for kids to join the classroom virtually and participate with questions in real time.
Once again, pet health company PetSure is awarding three youngsters a scholarship (valued at $675) to attend the January 2025 face-to-face camp in Sydney!
“The program offers a peek into the fascinating, sometimes messy, but always rewarding world of veterinary medicine!” said Dr Audrey.Campers will explore a wide range of animal-related careers, diving into topics like genetic disorders, pet nutrition, exotic animals, surgery, rescue operations and wildlife conservation. They’ll also enjoy exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of cutting-edge veterinary hospitals and take part in many exciting excursions.
The program also highlights a variety of veterinary specialties, including ultrasound, surgery, reptile care, grooming, dog training, animal rehabilitation, wildlife, marine biology and much more!
“Baking pet treats, practicing bandaging, drawing blood, engaging in dog training workshops, performing CPR on specially designed vet models, exploring topics in animal welfare and conservation, visiting veterinary hospitals and wildlife centres and much more!” she said.
“Our Junior Vets dive deeper, tackling real-life cases, analysing imaging and blood work, and observing surgeries. They get a genuine sense of what it’s like to work in veterinary medicine.”
Dr Alison explained the camp isn’t just for aspiring Vets – it’s for all young animal lovers!“With the challenges of a veterinary shortage and the high dropout rates in vet school, early exposure like this can make all the difference in helping kids understand the realities of the profession,” she said. “Whether or not they choose a veterinary career, the chance to connect with animals, learn from professionals and make lifelong friends has an incredibly positive impact on their confidence and resilience.”
