Veterinary Science Camp

Join us for Vet Camp 2025!

Thank you for your interest in St. Andrews University’s 2025 Equine Veterinary Science Camp! Application for this limited space camp is now open to high school students who will be graduating in 2026 or 2027 and who are interested in future Equine Veterinary careers.

Students will work hands-on with our own University Veterinarian-in-Residence in our 20,000 square foot open science lab, and hands-on with equine patients at our 300+ acre university Equestrian Center, as well as visit the NC Aquarium or Wildlife Refuge. Students will dive deep into lecture topics on Equine Dentistry, Cardiology, Ophthalmology, and Equine Health and Wellness, and more! Spaces are limited and this is a non-riding camp. Upon completion of the camp, students will be given a certificate showing at minimum 40 hours of clinical experience. Here is the date for the camp:

June 22nd-28th, 2025

The cost for the session is $1500 per student (payment can be made in full or in two payments prior to June 1st.  No Refunds for the program after June 10th.)

• Students who are chosen to attend camp will be announced by May 15th

Deadline for submission (application, documents, scanned materials) is May 1, 2025

As this camp is competitive, there is an application process, and our Veterinarian-In-Residence will be making selections of those students based on their application. Requirements for consideration to attend are:

1. Current High School transcript
2. One recommendation letter (must be from an academic source OR a recommendation letter from a veterinarian the student has worked beside)
