Raleigh, NC, March 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (www.ncvma.org) has announced that it is the official sponsor of the North Carolina Zoo’s Wild Veterinary Camps for the second consecutive year.

The Wild Veterinary Camps will give campers first-hand experience working in center treatment rooms, X-ray and lab facilities, along with practice in operating equipment, performing physical exams and more. Campers will also dress the part of a veterinarian. A scrub shirt, name tag and stethoscope are included in the tuition along with lunch and other supplies.
The camp will be broken down according to grade classification. Day camp will be offered to boys and girls grades 7-9 on Saturday, May 19 and Saturday, Sept. 15.
