Never a dull moment

​

​Every morning starts with “rounds,” where we discuss the planned activities for that day’s care of all our animals.

​Our curriculum is structured but flexible, so we can tailor activities to meet the needs of the campers and their interests.   Some subjects we will cover are Physical exams, suture technique, injections, and pharmacology.   Of course it is not all work and no play!  We will give our brains a break and hop on the blender bike to make slushies or attempt to break out of the animal themed escape room on the farm.  I have some exciting field trips planned as well. 

​

For our overnight campers, late afternoons offer various opportunities for your child to relax before the evening activity begins. We look forward to taking advantage of some of UNC recreational activities and the campus, walks into town and the exciting atmosphere the campus brings.​  At the end of each day of exploration, your child will return to the UNC Chapel Hill Campus located just two miles from the 1870 Farm.

Our program is managed by Dr. Amanda Mckee and your child will always be guided by our top notch and carefully screened counselors.
