Summer is a Great Time to Get Involved with Animals

Summer breaks are the perfect time to gain experience with animals! From volunteering at an animal shelter to walking dogs and going to summer camp, you can pack a lot into just a few weeks!

Check out the UC Davis Pre-College program, 10-day on-campus summer experiences for high-achieving students ages 16–18. Explore areas of interest, live in dorms and collaborate with peers and top researchers. One of the choices is Equine Science but be sure to sign up early as both sessions fill up fast!

The UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine offers a variety of summer programs. From day camps for middle school students to learn about veterinary medicine through hands-on activities, facility tours, and more to an intensive, four-week program to help disadvantaged undergraduate students enhance their preparation for veterinary school, there’s something for everyone interested in a career in veterinary medicine.

Keep an eye out for our one-day events as well, including the UC Davis Equine Health Symposium in March and UC Davis Horse Day in October!
