The Texas A&M AgriLife Veterinary Science Certificate Program would like to announce 2 new day camps coming up October 14^thand November 19^th at the Texas 4-H Conference Center in Brownwood. The October day camp is designed for students 14-18 that would like to gain experience in various working of veterinary science. Participants will learn general vet science skills and potentially have those skills signed off by a veterinarian. We will have a mock contest over breeds and instruments to finish off our day. The November camp is designed for students 11- 13 years old. These participants will learn about the Veterinary Science Certificate program as a whole as well as skills designed to get them ready to enter the vet clinic.
