Dr Audrey said, “We wish we had a camp like this when we were young thatopened our eyes to different careers in veterinary medicine. It showcases allthe opportunities available as veterinarians and other wonderful professionsin the animal industry. Many campers return every year to learn more andprogress through the camp groups.”
Campers learn about different animal-related professions, genetic diseases,pet nutrition, exotic animals, surgery, animal rescue and wildlifeconservation. Plus, they visit state-of-the-art veterinary hospitals forexclusive behind-the-scenes experiences, and many other exciting excursions!

During the year, the vet sisters have been heavily involved in the treatmentand rehabilitation of wildlife injured by the 2019-2020 summer bushfires andhope to bring the campers some insight into what they have learnt in thisarea.
“Whether or not the kids end up following the path to a career in veterinarymedicine, simply being around lots of different animals (from kittens tosnakes) and animal lovers from across the country have such a positive impacton them,” said Dr Alison.
