NCSU Livestock Science Camp

The summer camp experience expands students' knowledge of the livestock and agricultural industries and related careers.

The NC State Livestock Science Camp is designed for high school students aged 15-18. During the camp, youth will engage with NC State students, faculty, and staff to explore animal science and learn more about the livestock and agricultural industries and related careers.

The camp is open to high school students who want to learn more about the livestock industry and potential career opportunities. No livestock background or experience is necessary, only a desire to learn.
