Emergency Vet is a camper favorite, and we’ve been receiving requests for years to create a “Vet Camp” for our younger campers. We are excited to offer Jr. Vet, a brand-new camp for campers going into grade 1st through 3rd this summer!
Campers will begin learning about what a vet is and what they do. They will learn the basic anatomy of and care for both cats
and dogs, as well as more advanced care like stitches and broken bones. They’ll also spend time learning about the different body systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, and skeleton systems, by creating and making models of these important systems. Campers will even have a visit from a real dog where they will get to practice what they have been learning! Throughout the week, your aspiring veterinarian will do 20 different and engaging hands-on activity and projects! At the end of the week, all campers will bring home their Future Veterinarian Kit and first aid supply kit.

Forms & Resources
Summer Camp 2024 Welcome Information
Getting ready for camp should be an exciting process for your entire family. Many families attend multiple camps throughout the summer and often the information gets lost or misplaced. Although you’ll receive more information as summer gets closer, we’ve created a Summer Camp Welcome Information document that will give you all of the information that you’ll need to be prepared for camp!
The Welcome Packet mentions an ‘Administration of Medicine Form’. If your child requires any medications during the time he/she is at the camp (including an Epi pen or inhaler), please download this form and print it, have it completed & signed by your doctor, and bring it with the child on the first day of camp.
Camps start at $369.00 per week*. *Please note the same camp may be a different price depending on the camp location—We keep our prices as low as possible at each individual location
Our week is Monday-Friday from 9am-3:30pm. Regular drop-off is between 8:30-9:00 and regular pick-up is between 3:30-4:00.
Before care and aftercare is available for an additional fee. You can choose before/aftercare by the week or per-day.

Summer 2024 Flexible Cancellation Policy:
Just like last summer, we are committed to operating the 2024 camp season for you and your family. As always, we provide you some comfort and flexibility when enrolling in camp for 2024 with our flexible cancellation policy.
If you enroll in camp and your plans change or you have concerns about your child attending camp this summer, you can cancel and receive a refund or credit according to our policy. Our policy encourages early decisions so as not to affect other customers or our ability to efficiently deliver our programs and is based on the fact that supplies are purchased for your child in March. Because we cover registration fees for you, all cancellations for a refund will incur a $30 cancellation fee (per camp) to cover administrative costs.
Our cancellation policy is as follows:
Receive a full refund (minus the $30 cancellation fee) through March 31, 2024.
Receive a 75% refund April 1, 2024– May 31, 2024. No refunds will be given after May 31st, 2024.
Starting June 1, 2024, cancellations will receive a full credit as long as the cancellation is made at least two weeks in advance of the camp start date. This credit can be used for a different week of camp during the summer or camp in the future. Cancellations made within two weeks of the camp start date are not eligible for credits or refunds for any reason. There are no refunds or credits for missed sessions due to illness, family emergencies or for campers who prove unsuccessful in the camp setting due to behavior or other reasons.
Please note that camps purchased with account credit can only be issued an account credit in the event that you’d like to cancel.
Account credit can only be used towards camps and programs in the future. It is notrefundable for cash at some point in the future, regardless of circumstances.
Cancellations must be made via email (sciencecamps@clubscikidzmd.com) by the cut-off date or at least two weeks in advance, whichever is applicable.
