Youth ages 10 and up as of Jan. 1, 2026 are invited to explore 4-H Jr. Vet Camp “Grass, Goats and Uninvited Guests” Summer Camp 9 a.m.- 3:30 p.m. July 20-22.

This exciting educational camp will give youth the opportunity to learn about goat health while participating in engaging activities designed to make animal science come alive.

Throughout the camp, participants will explore the fascinating world of small ruminants, learning how parasites affect goats and how farmers and veterinarians work to keep animals healthy.

Campers will become animal health detectives as they investigate signs of illness, examine simulated blood samples, conduct fecal egg counts, learn about body condition scoring, and discover how parasites impact livestock production.

Not only will we practice on plush animals, but we will also have visits from real goats, rabbits, and other animals!

Using interactive models, youth will build critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills while gaining a deeper understanding of animal agriculture.

This camp is designed to be educational and engaging for all participants.

Whether participants are experienced livestock exhibitors or simply curious about animals and science, the “Grass, Goats and Uninvited Guests” Camp offers something for everyone.

Join us for three days of learning, laughter, and hands-on adventures as we discover what it takes to keep goats healthy and enjoy some homemade ice cream along the way!

There is a cost for this camp.
